Tiiiiiiiiiiimber...

If a tree falls in the forest, and there's no one there to hear it, does it make a sound?

Hmmm...

I don't know. 

But I can tell you that if I tree falls in a backyard onto a trampoline, and there are 2 adults and 3 toddlers inside the house (close enough to hear it)...it DOES make a sound.






We didn't know what the sound was at the time.  It sorta sounded like branches brushing up against the roof.  I mean, it was a crazy, windy, rainy day yesterday.  There were a lot of strange noises outside. 

At bedtime, Ty prayed that the trampoline would be fixed by spring so he could "jump when it's warm outside".  I just prayed it wouldn't be too hard for Shane to chop up.  Ironically, he'd just had the tree guy out for an estimate on removing some other trees.  So now, technically, we get 7 trees for the price of 6!  Well...there is the price of fixing the trampoline...

Ummm...yea that's a shame....but I'm sure Shane has already thought of something he can "build" with the fallen tree, he was saying he needed a new project.

wow, you guys are lucky it missed your house.

It's so cute that Ty prayed that the trampoline would be fixed. My son prays for candy and dinosaurs. What kind of kid am I raising? This makes me question everything.

Oh, bummer about the trampoline. I'm glad you were all inside. The same thing happened to our above ground pool when I was a kid. We didn't fix it though; it was the end of the pool era for us.
