Happy Father's Day!

Tim and I took the kids and Troy up to visit my dad for Father's Day. It's nice to have him back home!

The aftermath...

It rained so much Saturday night that by Sunday our lake was flooded. You can see how the water rose a few feet and is covering the boardwalk and sidewalk around the lake.

It didn't seem to bother these people much. I'm not sure I'd really want to go swimming in the lake the day after a storm like that.

Almost got zapped!

I should probably NOT stand outside during thunderstorms. This one hit right across the street.

Festival 2008

Festival this year was a little different. The entire weekend was forecast for rain, but Saturday seemed to be the best option.

So, we gave it a try...

Things were going well at first. Toby got to tour an ambulance and got a sticker from EMS driver.

It was still pretty hot and sunny when we shared some ice cream. The kids preferred Tim's butter pecan ice cream over my mint chocolate chip. But that's ok - more for me!

A few hours into the day, it started to cloud over and we left just before the thunderstorms hit. Unfortunately, we didn't make it to Chalk-the-Walk for our annual photo and this really disappointed me. We have "Robinson" pictures in chalk from the past 10 years or so. Oh well, there's always the next Festival.
