Flood Update - June 21

Wrote this post yesterday, but wasn't able to post it until this evening - Mom's internet connection was pretty spotty...

How high's the water, mama?

Four feet high and risin'

How high's the water, papa?

Four feet high and risin'

Hey, come look through the window pane,

The bus is comin', gonna take us to the train

Looks like we'll be blessed with a little more rain,

4 feet high and risin'

We headed down to Busch Heirs yesterday morning and took a boat ride around the property. Here are pics of the house and barns around the house - if you go back to my June 19 update post, you can see what the area looked like before the water came up. All the other pics are riding over bean and wheat fields.



The picture directly above is of boating through the "drive-through" barn.

Below are pics of the levee that's being topped right now - looks like a little waterfall. You can hear the water rushing over the levee from the house - and it's a mile and a half to two miles away. There are a lot of fish being forced over the levee, so it makes for easy fishing. So of course there are alot of pelicans hanging out around the levee waterfall filling up on easy pickings. There was a school of jumping carp there at the topping as well, so we got a few pics of the jumping fish as well.



Saw plenty of wildlife, frogs, snakes, rabits, deer...
