Storms

So did any of you experience the storm on Thursday night, we had branches breaking off our trees all over the place. Most of them were small but there were about 7 that were big enough that they would have hurt really bad if they had fallen on someone.
The power went out twice that day for a little while but it was still light enough outside that we could see. Bowen had a friend over and they decided it would be fun to play out in the wind. They headed back by the trees that are behind our house and past the black berry bushes but apparently the wasps were not happy with the storm and the boys walked right by them and started getting attacked. They ran back into the house screaming and brought 8 wasps into the house with them. When we finally got all the wasps killed and everyone calmed down we saw that Bowen had gotten stung 6 times and his friend 2 times. Needless to say Bowen doesn't want to ever go back by the blackberry bushes again, and he wouldn't leave my side or the fly swatter for several hours after.
So we thought all the craziness was over but then friday night after the kids went to bed, we were watching a movie and it was a little windy outside but not nearly as bad a Thursday night, when we heard a big crash in the backyard, we looked out and this is what we saw.

A huge branch had broken off one of our trees, I am just glad no one was out there when it happened.
