In fact, yesterday, I moved the car from the driveway so the boys could run thru the sprinklers on the driveway (and away from ants in the yard)...but of course, they had to help me do it...

Then they played in the sprinklers...

Then they ate watermelon...

[Look closely, this wasn't his first piece!!]

All around, it was a typical summer day. So this morning there's a thunderstorm, and our power goes out. Once the boys wake up I decide to run errands. I had actually jogged through my neighborhood (in the drizzle) a few hours before and there were no signs of flooding. But then as I drive out, this is what I see:

[A road in my neighborhood. You'll see a progression here...]

[The entrance to my neighborhood.]

[Across the street from the entrance, on Boerne Stage Rd.]

[Cross Mountain Church on Boerne Stage Rd.]

[Oops, I guess I can't get out on Boerne Stage Rd...You might want to look closely at this one.]

[Bridge for Twin Creeks Subdivision.]

[I saw a few people going around barricades (on Boerne Stage Rd/Scenic Loop).]

[Oops, gotta turn around again on Toutant Beauregard Rd.]

[One of the many little waterfalls on Babcock Rd.]

[Yay, I made it out, although even the interstate is dangerous (see the splash coming from this car? it's actually drenching the car beside it!)]

[Lastly, I feel really sorry for whoever owns this!]
So it was quite an exciting day! Once we got back home (and our power was back on, yay!!), the boys napped, and then Chance watched tv...like this:

One last thing. In my last post, I talked about how Charlie slept the entire time I went to drop off a meal to a friend. Well, one part I left out is I had to keep giving Chance chocolate chip cookies in order to keep him quiet (and not waking up Charlie). Well, this is what he looked like afterwards:

Oh my goodness! I can't believe you got out in that weather. I had heard it rained a lot in San Antonio but had NO idea it was that bad, except for the fact that our yard was a jungle when we got back.
Love the cookie face. :)
