So sorry about not writing for three days. Two days ago there was a flash flood. Our neighbor's front yard turned into a lake and our back yard had a river in it. Man, was it scary, according to the girls, but I loved it. Bethany was so scared when ever there was a big thunder clap. I have loved playing foosball and swimming 

in the pool .

(The river through our back yard - you can see the apple orchard up the hill from it.)

(This shows the view from our back door. The little house is the pool house.)

(This is our driveway and the neighbor's yard which looks like a lake with the flooding. Turns out there was a drainage pipe that was clogged. As soon as it was cleared, the lake drained rather quickly. Picture zoomed in from our front window. )
