Timber!

Jason and I came home from Fargo after being gone for a softball tournament to find one of the trees in our backyard split in half! There had been a wind storm I guess and the tree couldn't handle it. We had to have both of our gigantic trees removed....they weren't in the best condition but did provide lots of shade for us. We will miss them and the money it took to have them removed! Oh well, it is part of being a homeowner.

Here is a before photo. The tree on the right is the one that cracked.


Up close look at the split tree....YIKES!


Let the excitement begin!


What a difference!


Grayson loved watching the action. He watched from the window in our bedroom by putting his Sesame Street stool next to it so he could get a good look. It was so cute. Jason took him outside a couple of times to see what was going on up close and personal. He is waving at the "worker guys" here.
