So we ended up getting just a little bit of rain on Saturday. It was actually really fun. The kids and I sat at the windows and watched the rain come down--hard, we watched the lightening and listened to the thunder and rated it to see which one was the best and loudest! :)
Of course it was garbage day...so there were all sorts of garbage cans floating by...I think 4 or 5 went past our house. You can see that our can is still on grass. {keep an eye on the little piece of grass that the garbage can is on in the next few pics}
Ok...it's still hanging in there but the water is almost taking over where the can is.
Grass is gone...this all happened in a matter of minutes! It ended up being about 8 inches on our street. It covered the sidewalk and came up into the front lawn and we had a small lake in the backyard for a little while too!
Shawn decided to go save our cans so he wouldn't have to look for them later down the road. I am not really sure why the shirt needed to come off...but it did!
All the kids went out and played in it after the rain slowed down. It drained pretty quick but they still had fun. If we would have had a little raft we could have floated down our street! I only got a few pics of Ty...all the other kids took off down the street to see their friends and compare yards. 
Tyson didn't want the rain to drain so here he is trying to cover the holes in the sewer cover! :) 
2 chatted at me:
Oh man...there is nothing like having a street flood like that. I have good memories of Spiritbrook Park flooding and how much fun we'd all have. Looks like a fun day to spend with your kids!
You know rather than wondering why the shirt had to come off, you could be grateful that the pants stayed on!! At least the bad influence wasn't there for this one! How fun, so glad it quit when it did and no harm came to your home!
