Busy week!

It was another busy week with another big rain storm on Tuesday.  Matt was able to go down to the train tunnel (what we call a tunnel under the train tracks near our house) on Tuesday after a good chunk of the rain had come.  This is a photo of the water coming under the road toward the tunnel.

This is the stair headed toward the tunnel.  You can't really see the tunnel but it is there on the left.  

He then drove around to the other side of the tunnel and tried to get a look.  From this spot he couldn't even get close enough to the area.  And yup, it is flooded during storm!

He was able to work his way to another spot and from here you can see the very small portion of the train tunnel that isn't full of water.  

So much water!  But thankfully no issues with flooding in our area.  

Mason's volleyball game on Tuesday got cancelled because school got cancelled.  Wednesday the game got cancelled because the other team had scheduling conflicts.  So they only had a game on Thursday which was a tough game, but they managed to pull off the win!  It was very exciting to watch and we are excited to see them learning to be a team.  

On Thursday all the kids had a band event at a local performing arts center and they were excited to learn that their grandparents would be ushers during the event!  And Olivier went over and sat with them at one point, giving high fives when he left which meant a lot more high fives from his classmates as they went by!  A fun birthday event for Grandpa!

Today we took a quick trip out to a local lake that is about to overflow for the first time in over 20 years!  It was amazing to see it so full after seeing it so dry all these years.  And although I didn't get photos of it, all the extremely green mountains!

And the water is just about to spill over!  They were releasing water knowing it was about to spill over, especially since more rain is coming.  Yup, more rain but not a huge amount, it should be under 2 inches.  We shall see!
