Farewell to the Old Cherry Tree

Removing a tree was not part of our original plans. It was brought to our attention that this great climbing spot and gathering place was at the end of it's life span.It will be missed by many, but remembered fondly.  
As we bid farewell to the old cherry tree, 
we look forward to planting new seedlings of life on Build Day!
