I need a boat

We have been hit by crazy amounts of rain here and we just can't handle anymore. We lost electricity for a couple hours so we went puddle jumping. Luckily fun aunt Karin was here to join in the fun. This is at the bottom of our driveway. The neighbors backyard was a stream that went across our driveway. Perfect for puddles!

We have a drainage area at the side of our house and it filled up with a lot of water. It was a little scary that it was getting so high. It looked like a pond. Luckilly our house is fine. It didn't get too high. I was really nervous having a basement just for flooding reasons. During the inspection of our house we were told we had good grade where the water would always run away from the house. The previous owners never had any issues. This week it was definately tested and it was good. We got a little bit of water dripping down our chimmney and we had a little bit of water in our sump pump. Both were easy to get rid of and didn't ruin anything in the house.

Enjoying another stream made by the rain.

We are told there may be more rain coming our way. Hopefully the ground isn't to saturated when it comes again. Our grass is doing well but looks like a jungle because our mower broke.
Hopefully we will be able to mow it soon before we lose a kid in it.




and for fun. my cute Claire. Finally learning how to sit up on her own.
