Hill Comes Down, Trees Grow Up

We previously posted about Tyson's 4th grade music performance. And to prove just how small a town Tonganoxie is, the weekly newspaper ran an article on the performance. Classic. Click here to read the stunning coverage!

We knew it was inevitable. The hill/mountain in our backyard is slowly coming down as the new development begins to ... well, develop. If you look closely in this picture just below the water tower, you can see the first framed house. Needless to say, we're feeding our new strategically placed trees Miracle Grow by the gallons. Grow baby ... just grow!

After a week of flooding, everything seems to be drying out. We still have standing water in some places (mosquito breeding ponds is what we call them) but the temperatures have been particularly warm. Tyson and Cody went on the church's Father-Son campout near Perry Lake for an overnighter. Came back with some fun memories and 9 ticks, 6 for Tyson who now refuses to go outside.
