We had quite an exciting Sunday. A bad storm blew through Rexburg and uprooted our big willow tree. The kids had fun climbing on the wreckage. Our trampoline blew from our back yard, over our house and into the power lines across the street. The power lines were tangled and one house lost power for a while until the power company could come and fix the lines. Brett was in Boise this weekend for continuing ed courses and came home to the mess. Here are a few pictures. That was such a good beautiful tree. Our trampoline is banged up and no good anymore. Nate was crying "my trampoline blew away!"
Brett and the neighbors are hacking away at the tree right now. Love you all!

Holy cow Kara! I cannot believe that!!! Wow! Good thing it blew over the other way and not through your house. Those are neat pictures. Something you guys will always remember I'm sure! And I cannot believe your tramp blew over your house and ended up in the power lines! That must have been quite a storm! And to think Brett missed all the action. Although I did hear about the other things that happened, like the fan pull breaking with the fan on high and Brett backing over Nate's big wheel. What a tramatic weekend!
Kara, I am amazed that the wind could uproot your beautiful tree. I have never seen anything like that. I glad that nobody was hurt. I was asking Michelle about the storm, and she said that the wind didn't blow like that at her place. Was it a microburst? Thanks for posting. Hope your week gets better.
