The Weekend Festivities

Trevor was gone in California all week, so we were certainly glad to have him arrive home safely on Friday night. Saturday was a work day (Katie even asked, "Why do we have to do so many chores on Saturday?" and then answered her own question by saying, "Oh yeah, Saturday is a special day, it's the day we get ready for Sunday." Haylie let her know that it really doesn't do any good to work all day Saturday because we still have to do work on Sunday...like the dishes! Ha!)

Saturday afternoon we went to a birthday party for some boys in our Primary. It was a dress up party and the kids had a blast!

I felt like I was up half the night on Saturday night. The rain was relentless! We woke up to flood central! Trevor had early morning meetings, and called me once he got to church to say that the way we usually go was completely flooded. The girls and I were getting ready to go early to our 9 am meetings because today was the big Primary Program and I am the Music Leader. We were able to get to church safely using another route, but the majority of the ward members were stranded in their homes and the Program had to be canceled! Bummer!
These are pictures of our street AFTER church, when the great majority of the waters had receded. You can see there was a lot of water! Driving to church was a bit scary! Water nearly up to our hood at times!!

I hope this is as bad as it gets.
Is it possible the water could
reach your house?

Yikes! Where's the swimsuits?? I'm glad you're all alive and well and so sorry about the Primary Program postponement!

P.S. Audra is "Minnie" not "Mickey"
