Hatchets and axes and saws, oh my!

Need to entertain your kids for a few hours?

Just chop down a small tree in your yard, hand them a handsaw or small hatchet, and let them go to town.

I never expected this yard project of ours to be such a hit with the kids.  But they stayed outside and sawed away at the branches for hours.  And as nervous as I get with the kids wielding weapons such as these, they actually get along better and are happier when they're entertained with such an activity as this.  So, we teach them safety, set down some rules, keep them under supervision, and let them go!  

TIMBER!
