Clean up after the storm

With the recent rain and storms we have had, part of our maple tree in the front yard fell down.  It is sad, it is the only source for shade which our kids desperately want all day long in the summer time.  We are not sure if the tree will live or die now with its huge wound but, I think we will wait and see what happens.  Isaac will miss it the most if it indeed has to come down.

We all pitched in to clean up the mess this morning.  It was a lot of work but the kids were a great help and Isaac even got to drive the tractor for the first time.  Pretty sure you can tell by the look on his face how cool he thought this was.

Let's hope the rain is done now for a little while, and no more storm damage for this year.
