Bad Weather Mayhem




As you will see- the girls just hours before were playing on the Trampoline having a blast, hours later, the yard was flooded and the trampoline.........







Yes that is the SAME Trampoline that the girls were playing on just hours ago!! BRAND NEW- these are the only pictures capturing the girls playing. Once the TERRIBLE storm hit the Chippewa Valley it took the Trampoline, dragged it from the back yard, across the highway, and into the farm fields
..........This is the Result.
The Gardow's had some minor mishaps- but nothing like the Olson's. :(
Here you will see a tree next to our driveway that actually uprooted the driveway. I know that our driveway was not pristine and it was going to start happening over time - but it was amazing to see that one WINDY STORM could move this large tree that much!! Not sure if you can tell but I can actually stick my hand under the concrete that was pushed up. We are lucky that the driveway was there to hold the tree down- hate to see what would have happened otherwise. :(



This "branch" fell and hit the house on the way down. Nothing major- just some soffet that Jon was able to fix the next day. There was A LOT of branches and small trees to clean up in the yard the next day and around the neighborhood. We are VERY fortunate this was all our town saw. The force of nature....
