So, last week we had some severe winds in our area. They ended up doing some serious damage. Our huge, I mean massive, pine tree was completely uprooted. I couldn't believe it. There were downed trees and power lines everywhere. We spent the entire day without power and some people spent several days without it. Here are some of the pictures.
Our pine tree.
This is the tree on the side of our appartment building. They ended up chopping the whole thing down because it was so badly damaged anyway.
On Sunday we attended sacrament meeting for a 1/2 hour, then were instructed by our bishop to go help the ward take care of all the debris before another storm hit that evening. About 50 ward members spent the entire day cleaning and hauling stuff. Many others (like me) spent the day making soup and cookies for the workers.

Will loved having the power out becuase it meant eating peanut butter and jelly and playing with flashlights all day. Here is a little video I took of him eating his lunch and singing songs. He always sings "Pants on the ground" the song sung by a disqualified American Idol contestant. He heard it as a ring tone on Blair's phone and he loves to sing it. Weird.
