The hurricane never hit, but we did have a lot of rain and consequently flooding in some areas. We think things like that are interesting, so we went to check it out between conference sessions.
(LDS General Conference) No post on that this time. It was enjoyable though!
This is a boat ramp and a little pier from which people usually fish.
Grant was not posing for this. His grin is totally genuine.
We found a few bridges under water and enjoyed watching cars and trucks drive right through. Crazy, right?! The truck made it, turned around and did it again. They are weather adventurers too, I suppose. Just ones who might need a new car next week.
More flooded roadways. These are all areas where there is typically water, either marshy areas, creeks or the river.
Victoria and Grant were the kids who really enjoyed getting in the water! Katherine loves water, but thought it was freezing. Christian just didn't want to be wet and cold in the car without a towel. He was good at thinking ahead.
This was our last stop. A friend, posted a picture of his office on facebook, so we wanted to check it out. The road was closed, but we interpreted that as meaning closed to cars. Hope we were right!
So, this is when a couple of my kids may have taken it a bit too far.
They were cold and may have had a miserable ride back home, except for that they just went swimming in flood water! They had a good story to tell and thought it was pretty awesome. Granted, this was really just river water and rain. If this had been floodwater in a city or after a devastating hurricane where coffins had risen from the ground, we would not have allowed the near swimming that these two did.
