Flooding

On June 1st, we officially became landlocked due to flooding.  We stayed here mostly, but would get a ride from Roy Weber when we needed to go out for a baseball game.  With the roads being flooded, and the only way to get around being the Katy Trail, the boys were able to have free reign of Black Walnut.  They rode their bikes, dirt bike, golf cart and 4-wheeler on the road.  They played basketball on the street.  The could basically go wherever they wanted until there was water.  We had parties with the neighbors, including a Blues watch party at our house.  We only had a little bit of water in our yard when it was at it's highest, but otherwise we stayed dry.  The fist night we were stuck, there was a terrible storm and we lost power for a couple of days.  Luckily Ameren was able to boat in and fix it.  Other than that, we cannot complain of the inconvenience as there are a lot more homes and properties that were not as lucky as us.
