I drove a bulldozer!

We had so much fun driving the bulldozer. We have 42 acres broken up into 3 plots. The only way to access all three lots was to go up the road and enter each lot through the clearings. We bulldozed 6 large trails that go from our house all the way up to lot 3. Now it feels like our land is one large plot instead of three. We plan to get ATVs and ride all over the land.



Of course Jeff loved driving this big bad boy himself!


Here is Simon sitting in one of the cleared paths.

That sounds like so much fun! We went riding at my Daddy's a few weeks ago and had a blast. I am so glad you have your land joined so that is more accessible to you.

Wow! I just watched your film clip. I need one of those at my Eclectic Homestead. Did you rent it?

The children love the trails! Good job.

I need to come visit you guys and see what all you've done. When do we have a break from school that happens to be at the same time?

Tough girl! But, you must always be aware of your surroundings when operating a bulldozer. It usually has safety equipment including safety chains, steps, grab handles, and frame lock levers. Avoid sloping areas to prevent tipping over the bulldozer. Knowing important safety rules can save your life and the lives of others.
