3 Birds with 1 Stone

I asked the kids what their favorite thing about the new house was and while their reasons were all different the item of favor was the same...

Makensie: The tree in the backyard to climb on and it's pretty pink flowers.

Gabby: The tree in the backyard to climb on so I can see the neighbors horse.

Brian: The tree in the backyard to climb up so I can pee way up high.
