Flood Waters

Last Sunday Brian, the girls and I went on a joy ride to see the flooding around St. Peter and LeSueur. It's amazing! The water on Hwy169 on the way to LeSueur was all the way up to the side of the road-it's a little freaky being that close to it but cool too. The road that Brian takes into LeSueur is closed because a big portion of the road disappeared under the river. We took the girls down to it and it again was pretty amazing. Our friends the Yosts, are currently living at Jess's parents home which is now on their very own island. The river has overflowed it's banks and their driveway and road to their house is under water. They have to hike on higherground thru some woods to a pump station where they park their cars. Jessica and Charlie have 2 little kids so they haven't done a whole lot of traveling off the farm. And the currant of the river is so strong and forceful-just imagine the energy it takes to move that much water. I will post pictures of our adventures as soon as the camera is located! :) It's around here somewhere....
