City of Elms: Minneapolis

There once was a tree that looked like this. And then this.

But for the last 5 years it's been "the stump" home to stump-jump and the stage. All the girls climbed it as babies, sat there, played and chatted with dolls, read books and used their imaginations at the stump. Unfortunately it was rotting so last week we had it grinded out and now we have a much larger backyard. (I'm thinking in-ground trampoline.) And we still have playhouse for backyard memories...
