Waiting for the ground to dry up!

2 days later and still standing water.

The sunk truck

Road washout

Working hard to put the road back

Gee mom this is a lot of rock

We started raking and suddenly realized this is a shovel job.  Wow the current must have been strong through here.

Done as far as we could go til the land dries out.  The boys stuck with me shoveling and raking for 2 hours.  So proud of their efforts.  Tonights reward ~ go get their computers and set them up.  Yipee

Not perfect ~ but oh so much better

Rain Rain Go Away

Do you want to swim in our pond or the pool? lol

Starting to recind, but the rate of the current in the street is incredible.  No wonder the Mayor has requested no travel.

All I can say is wow.

Lil Dan offered to clean Grandpa & Grandma's Garage.  So A.  Grandpa wouldn't.  & B. I wouldn't.  He knows I am scared of heights.  He worked four long hours.

When Grandma went to pay him.  He said nope ~ I did it cause I love you.  The garage looks brand new and  I'm so proud of what a wonderful young man he is becoming.  Next is the house.  Wish we could the neighbor to cut that tree.  It shows are family home evenings are reaching someone.  Yeah!

4th of July Weekend Festivities 2010

The saga of the sweaty eyeballs continues.  He was so amusing himself by making cheeks and shirt go with the wind.

Bouncy toys for the boys yeah!

I can't say enough good things about Night Ranger.  They rocked.  GFR started out Rough but3 songs in really rocked hard.  It was awesome.

Mom in Grand Funk Railroad shirt and Dad in his Night Ranger.

By the end of the night son and Dad were tuckered out!

$th of July fishing.  Dan took these cool shots and I love them.  Fishing in the lake as the rain softly falls.

Dan it's a big one!  And nope it got away!

Waterloo/Cedar Falls Monopoly
