Cleanup

About three weeks ago a bad storm came through and hit the lakehouse pretty rough. Saturday we went up, along with some of mom and dad's friends, to start the cleanup. 


Fulton's playset did not survive. Poor thing.


We had dozens of trees down and not just the little scrawny ones, but these big suckers. Very thankful none of them fell onto the house.


Look what winds can do? Ripped out part of the side of the stairs. Along with demolishing all the porch furniture with it.


But the saddest part...our boat dock and pontoon boat were flipped completely over. Kind of scary that straight line winds could do this. So, needless to say there was lots to do. 


Fulton and I weren't much help to be honest. He was much more interested in riding in the golf cart. Which we did for a long time.


And Matt took him on his very first tractor ride. He loved it. 


Fulton did pick up a stick or two. He finally took a nap and I was able to actually help. Straight up manual labor with scraps and cuts on my arms and legs to prove it. Still much to do, but it was a productive day.

Thanks for not pointing out that we weren't there :)
Hate we missed clean up day, but I'm sure there's more to be done to prepare for the summer.
I see many golf cart ride in our future...
