Wild Weather in Nauvoo!!

It has been raining and raining here in Nauvoo. Last week it was so bad a few of the roads I drive my bus on were closed down because they are covered in water. Lots of the corn fields look like lakes. It is sad when it rains so much that it just drowns things instead of helping them grow. We had a pretty significant thunderstorm the other night and it brought with it a hailstorm. Not a lot of damage thankfully but they were pretty good sized hailstones.

With each storm our big tree house tree loses a big branch. We decided that the tree houses were constricting the branches too much and the wind was causing them to rub against the tree house and eventually cut the branches. We decided it was time to say good bye to that cool old tree house. It hasn't been used in at least 3 years and Grandma Wright has been wishing it would go away long before that. :)
