Flood Pictures

Sorry everyone for our lack of blogging again lately. Our house got flooded a few weeks ago on Daddy's 30th birthday. Mom and Dad had gone to Rapid City and Deadwood for the weekend and came home to sandbag our house. Unfortunately someone drove by and made waves in the water and our sandbags fell down. We had 4 1/2 feet of water in the basement. Thank goodness for a nice neighbor who called us and picked up Daddy in his boat so Daddy could get some pumps going.
We lost a lot of stuff downstairs but we are lucky the water didn't get on our main level. We are grateful to be safe but unfortunately my great-grandpa didn't survive the flood. He had a heart attack the morning of. We will all miss you Great Grandpa.

This pic is of our house under water. It's the brown and white one.






Our softball fields under water













The view from Uncle Bill's back deck...not usually lake front property!









The water line in the bathroom downstairs. Yikes.
