JULY 24

How am I going to entertain 20 people at our house? All the fun stuff is up at the cabin. Speaking of the cabin there was 4 more inches of rain last night. YIKES!! The Marina is flooded. Some of our neighbors have water in their cabins. The current is super strong and up the lake there is massive flooding. This looks like it is going to be a bigger clean up than the flood of 2008. The news says record flood stage!

Okay boys party without Brian we can handle. The kids will just mostly entertain themselves with something. Deep breath. . . we can get through this. We are having lunch meat sandwiches, fruit and chips for lunch (so we are hungry for cake). Received a text from Brian – the DNR boat just floated by, he got some video.

Time to open presents! Campbell got a new Star Wars Lego Set. Jamison got cars and a car wash. Two Water guns each, we will have fun trying those out.

Mom, Dad, Shawn, Dirk and Nathan went up to see the Lake while Andrea and I took the kids to play miniature golf. We had a great time at Lost Island but I have never seen a miniature golf course this busy in my life. Usually we are the only ones on them and this one had people on every other hole. Crazy!

Lake Delhi Dam just broke. Soon no more water in the lake just a 7 mile mud flat. Our water crafts are all still there but have some damage. Our retaining wall caved and we now have a foot wide fission in our yard. No lake for the foreseeable future, hmmm what are we going to do on the weekends?
Birthday party successful. Lake Delhi no more. Happy but sad day.
