It Rained...and rained

It was a dark and stormy day,

the banks, formerly known as our backyard

swirled in a muddy mass and beckoned us to set sail...There was a hint of sadness as we made these,

knowing that at that moment rescue boats

covered areas of our community that we

love and travel frequently

While our city is under 50ft of water I'm thankful the rain only brought my family extra large puddles

onto which we set sail our origami canoesthis canoe has a motor apparentlyThen they wanted a faster pace another tryit escapes the rocks!Kyle setting to sail his wooden boat

After all of our paper canoes capsized and tore apart
The boys decided to race leaf boats We also inspected a damp log teeming with life,

there we found fungi, a tiny spider hanging from it's web

a snail, pillbugs, ants, a centipede

wonderful decomposers in our backyard! and Kobe found a firefly

as Kyle broke out his

"I need an icee" face Maya splashed in puddles

Our thoughts are with those affected by this flooding
