This week me and my mom went to the lake. We had a fun time meeting new people and spending time in the water. We took some great pictures that are definitely worth sharing!
The pebbles on the shore were round and soft, perfect for walking on.
The sky was beautiful and the weather was perfect for our trip.
We did encounter a bit of a problem.
The lake flooded!
Look at that downpour!!

Look at that downpour!!
Here are a few pictures of the flood in the making...
Because of all the pine needles and tree branches that were backing up the drains, none of the water was leaving the street. See the floating branch of junk in the picture above? That's where the drain is.I took it upon myself to clear the drains and save the neighborhood thousands of dollars due to flood damage. I pulled all the junk out of the drains and felt good about myself. Good deed for the day....check!
I'm grossed out, can you tell?
This was about 15 minutes after the first unclogging. Yes, I did it twice.
After I had taken that whole pile of junk from the drain, this really nice guy came and helped me clear the rest of it. I love how caring citizens show up out of nowhere to save the day! Thanks mystery fellow!! You give me hope in the world!
You may ask where all this water went and I'll tell you!
After we got the water flowing down the drains....
...it drains into this basin at the park...
...through this pipe. Cool eh?
Don't worry, I only kinda feel like a tsunami victim.
Things I lied about in this post:1. We didn't really go to the lake. Duh.
2. I really did more good deeds that day. HUGE ones actually. Right mom? Saving lives, etc.
Things I forgot to add:
1. I didn't wear shoes the whole time!
2. For some reason, I LOVE the picture of the water going down the drains. Maybe it's cuz it's like a waterfall or something. I dunno, I felt artistic.
3. As I was pulling the junk from the drain the first time, this guy in a huge truck stopped in front of me and said, "What are you looking for down there? Your house?!" Then he just cracked up and drove away. Wow sir, hardy har.
There you go guys! Sorry for the uber long post. Cry a little bit, and you'll be ok.
Happy Thursday!!
