Jena's Birthday and a BIG Hole.

We celebrated Jena's birthday on September 14 with kids and cake....

 

And we got a BIG hole for her birthday!  And big is an understatement.  :)

 

 

That's our road.  Or, I should say, that was our road.  Now our road is a lonnnnnnnng ways around, or we are shortcutting through the field.

 

So we got a LOT of rain.  I wanna say, 10 inches?  When you get that much rain, that fast, you get some serious flash flooding.  Oh, and you also get an out of control Wolf River, that cuts into the bank and it literally eats your road.  We can tell there is a spring or something under the road, so that didn't help.

 

Oh, and we also lost our power.  In the middle of the night.  Call the electric company, and get a call from them, personally, in the middle of the night.  They called to say our light pole is literally, in the river.  It sloughed off and fell into the river.  SO, they obviously had to wait until morning, get a bull dozer to get through the corn in the field, get a truck out there, and set a new pole.

 

Huh.  Who knew?
