Tornado Clean Up 2.0

For our second weekend of clean up, hubby was able to join us.  We spent the majority of the day at one house.  We never saw the home owners, but felt like we made a big difference.
 It was actually fairly cold that day!
 Once again, Joe was lovely and let me help by driving the tractor.
 Hubby (and others) cut down the bigger trees into smaller, more manageable sizes and they would load them into the bucket for me to drop off at the road.
 He's pretty handsome, even with a face shield on!
 Go baby go!
 Kari did a great job helping again!  This time we just left the kids home with Kaitlyn, and she did a great job of making sure everyone stayed alive ;)
 Usually I am the one who is behind the lens, but I am grateful that there was someone there to take pictures and document the whole thing.
 How many men does it take to.....
 Sometimes it seemed like it would never end.
 We did end up going to another house later in the day.  In this particular area, we ended up piling all the debris in the middle of the field for the home owners to burn later.  (Here, Joe also had a bit of trouble with the tractor, and ended up with a broken gear shifter...  or something like that).
 She's such a good helper...  Hauling such big loads ;)
 I was totally impressed that some of the trees on the property survived.
 I was even more surprised to see the metal wrapped around the branches!  Like, woah!
 There used to be a shed there...
 We had a good group, and it was really fun to work with some of the people there!
We didn't get as sweaty because it was cooler that day.  And we were able to celebrate the day with friends by eating pizza together!
