January 2009 Floods

The snow finally disappeared,and we thought that the crazy weather was over,but then the water in the river started to rise and we got a record breaking flood! That morning dad came in and woke us all up to tell us that school was out because of record breaking floods. He said that there weren't any floods like this since the year of 2000! Then he told us the fun news. We were going to see the flood waters! We got dressed real fast and went down stairs. Then, we ate breakfast and got into the car. On the way ,we went into a big puddle, and where there are big puddles there are big splashes! When we got there I saw Jennifer and her family. I was very exicited. Mom said we could go to all the flood sites today! I also got to go on a platform near the water. The water was really high, even at the beginning of the water, it was high! We also got to go to Duvall Park, and on the bridge too! Then, we had to go home and have lunch. Boy was that a fun day!!!
