The week after school got out Carson got to go with the rest of his cub scout pack to Cub Scout Day Camp for 4 days. Boy were they some long days, but he had so much fun. They got to go fishing, play chess, learn to do archery, shoot BB guns, swim, play ultimate frisbee, and so much more. I went up to the camp and spent the day helping with his group on the second day of camp. I had fun watching him interact with his friends and learn new things. And thankfully, we had decent weather that day, so I survived being outside all day!
At the end of that week we had a pretty serious storm come through our area, and unfortunately, we suffered some loss to a couple of our trees. This one in our front side yard lost a major limb.
This tree in the back pretty much snapped in two, and thankfully fell straight down instead of crashing into the family room. We also had a cedar tree that had some small broken limbs, but it was a tree that needed trimming anyway.
Thankfully we had some friends with a nice chainsaw that lent it to us for the weekend, because Home Depot had sold out by the time Dustin got there! Sadly, some of our neighbors sustained a lot of damage to their yards, homes, and in at least one case, vehicle. We felt very lucky to have otherwise been safe during the storm.
