Here Comes The Flood
Or rather, there goes the flood.
Our lake has been overflowing with snow melt lately, covering up most of our favorite beaches and picnic spots. Not to mention a parking lot or two. But now it's slowly receding back to normal levels.
The kids are fascinated by this, and we've been to the lake three different times to walk up and down one long stretch of shoreline. Each time, the kids make excited observations about changes in the landscape.
Nature can be an awesome teacher.

Off topic: Your son looks tall!
at least they get to learn 'post flood'!
we were down there yesterday and the kids couldn't believe it was up to the bottom of the life guard stand! I believe it was all the way to the wall at one point??? crazy!
Brett - the way he eats, he'd better be growing UP rather than OUT.
I believe it was all the way to the wall at one point??
At its highest, City Beach was almost completely covered, past the lifeguard stands and right up to the wall. There was only a tiny sliver of sand left in one spot.
That's cool.
Around here, the only thing like that you could do is take them to a reservoir and show them how the water line keeps getting lower and lower.
Similar, just sadder.
Our only lake is down 70 feet. Perhaps you can send some of that extra water our way.
Wow. The water has really pushed up hey. It's great that your children get to learn hands on like that
Nature is the best teacher! It is great that they are so facinated by what is going on.
