Where did the pond and trees go?

 The other day we went to Jones park to visit one of our favorite places by the pond and trees.  It is very close to our house and we walk there at least once a week, even on cold snowy days.  When we got there, we were in shock.  The water in the pond was gone and a lot of trees were gone. All that was left of a big cedar tree that Addison and Luke played "house" in was a stump.  (see above picture)  They were very sad.

Here they are standing by what used to be a dock, which they pretended was a boat. All of the land behind them was the pond.

  Here are the men that were cutting down the trees.  Luke yelled to them, "You stop cutting down our trees that God created!"  Their chain saws were too loud for them to hear him though.

So they scavaged for treasures that were left behind in the pond.  Addy said, "I'm really sad that the trees and water are gone, but the good thing is now we get to see these neat shells that God created."

 And there's lots of other cool stuff to do in Jones Park.  We found a neat little bridge!

Addy was trying to climb up a little creek bank.  Good thing Luke was there to save her!! It looks like a pretty steep bank in this picture, but her feet could touch. :) Brooke was on my back the entire time riding along so she didn't get in any pictures this time.
