Preparing for Ike!!

Hurricane Ike is on his way! We have extra water, batteries, flash lights, ect. We also had a dead tree in our yard. We thought it was best to plan it's fall instead of it falling where it wanted to...so...last night Randy and a friend started cutting it down. By the end of it all about 5 neighbors were helping and ended up just pulling the tree over with manpower while another used the chainsaw! It was quite impressive!! Here is the tree after it came down. Now we just have to get it out of our yard!

Alex is keeping up with the latest on Ike!
