Timber!!

Highland is notorious for its wind. Last night the wind blew at 66mph. I don't know if that's strong for wind, but it was strong enough to blow down another tree. It looks like this tree was split already and just needed a bit of a nudge.

We had a rope swing that the kids loved to swing on. That could've helped to weigh it down. Good thing they weren't swinging at the time.
Seth said he likes the tree much better this way, "I used to only be able to climb to the first branch, now I can climb all the way to the top!"

Seth decided he wants to sleep out here.






I guess this means Jon gets to get the chain saw out and we get to have a bon fire. But for now, they can "climb" it.
