Backyard adventures!

So this past Tuesday it rained, rained, rained. There was lots of wind and our power went out for a little while too. Whenever it rains a lot, we get a "lake" in the backyard. I remember when I was little and going out and playing in the water. Lauren got the girls to go and play in it that evening. They were a little hesitant at first, but then decided it was fun!
At the same time, Nathan was cutting down part of one of the tree's in the backyard. Not because the storm got to it, but it was dead. I don't know how he does it, it scares me to even climb a ladder, let alone a tree.
