Flood!!!

In July we experienced a flood.  (It was not the first time we had water come into our house.)  It was a HUGE flood.  Well more outside than inside.

We found water coming in threw the laundry room.

(From LL – we are not on a flood plain.  Our tile behind our house is too small for when we get a lot of water in a short amount of time.  We added on in the back and it makes an L shape.  There are several roof lines converging at one spot.  The drain spout comes down behind our laundry room and thus it gets the flooding.  Chad intends to lay new tile – hopefully before another flash flood!!!)

WATER

More WATER!!!!!!

No, your eyes are not playing tricks on you.   The water was up to my shoulders.

The water was HOT well not really, it was comfortable.

Mud slide

The mud slide was fun but at the same time it hurt.

We had some friends kayaks in our barn and we put them (and ours) to use.  We had fun on the double kayak.  We played King of the mountain.  (Well maybe I should call it King of the double kayak.)   Thanks Sauders for letting us borrow them.

Are you sure that is wise Javan?  (Jeremiah is in the stroller and Javan is putting the stroller in the water.)  Do you think that is WISE?????

Jeremiah is always usually HAPPY!!!!

We had so much fun.

We headed down to Prairie Creek and took a look.  And this is what we SAW!!!

Any body want to go swimming in there????

All on the ranger ready to go back.

BOOOO!!!!!!  It was all gone the next day.

(LL – This flood came right after they were asking us to make our front yard into a lake again.  It was a lake years before we moved in but somehow all the water drained out.  I feel safer not having a lake in our front yard anyway!  Maybe when our littles aren’t so little.) 

Loading up the kayaks on the Ranger.
