Our park

We have a number of fantastic parks just minutes from our house. It is wonderful because 1)Parks are free! 2)We LOVE to go on walks. The day doesn't feel complete if we don't get a walk in  3)After 6+ months of being cooped up in the house, my kids love the change of scenery (and slides!) that parks provide. As Tristen puts it, "Mama, I'm all done being home". Yep, Tristen, I get it :) So, we go to "our parks" quite frequently (daily in fact!)

So, you can imagine our shock when we promised our kids we were going to go to the "goose park" (the one with the geese and the pond) only to see this:

 

A huge tree was uprooted!

 

 

Sad!!!

We had a significant thunderstorm the night before but we didn't even think about the damage it would do to the park! It looks like we'll need to visit another one for a little while :(

We are VERY grateful that our house didn't receive any damage. Some of our neighbors had significant damage-trees falling on garages, in their backyards, and one had a tree go through their roof. Yikes. I love storms but am thankful we were all safe during this one :)
