Flood of 2008

We had terrential rains Thursday and Friday which lead to area flooding. The weathermen warned that it could be as bad as the flood of 98, but thankfully they were wrong. When it was all said and done we had around 8 inches of rain. Several schools surrounding Augusta were closed Friday because of flooded roads. My employer let people go home at 1:00pm on Friday because the roads around us were flooded and only getting worse. When I got home on Friday afternoon and picked up Madelyn from school she could not wait to get in the "river" next to our house. Living next to a big ditch is probably not a huge selling point for many people but one little girl on Ranchwood Drive thinks the ditch is pretty cool. This is how Madelyn spent her Friday afternoon.

Looks like fun to me! Uncle Travis wanted to know if you were skiing in the ditch - he saw the rope and thought maybe you were!

LOL! No that was a rope attached to Madelyn's bucket. However, we have all been tubing in the ditch in years past.
