Wow - What A Storm we had. We were very very thankful that our house stayed dry and the boys stayed sleeping. (both Thurs & Fri night at least during the storm). Here are some pics on Sat morning. Rick had to work Sat. I loaded up the boys in the car and we were headed for a day at the cottage. The sun was out and there was water everywhere. With a small detour we made it to Chicago Drive. On the way out, I thought would stop at my mom's and my grandma's just to make sure the basements were dry. They had spent the night at the cottage. This is ETNA Plumbing on Chicago Drive.
Here is the Fish and Game Club. No way to even get in.
Much to my surpise and walked into the basement at Grandma's and sploush. Not good. Called them up and said bring breakfast, we are not coming out. They came in from the cottage and we had a family reunion sucking water out of the basement. Luckily grandma has been cleaning her basement and everything was able to be saved. The paneling and floor were history, but it could have been much worse. We laid out everything in the yard to dry. Her street looked like a yard sale at every house.
Aunt Crys came to work, well she definately got the best job - someone had to hold Ethan.
We weren't too sure about everything that came out of the basement. We had to have a little fun with it.
All in all, it was another weekend. Headed to the cottage this weekend - hopefully. Then a beach party on Sunday - hope the lake keeps warming up.
Hope you all stayed dry or are recovering OK.
All our love.
Rick, Mandi, Jakob & Ethan

WOW - you make it look like we had a fun day cleaning up and I guess we really did. So thankful that more damage wasn't done to Grandma's house. It's one of those times to help those in need and be thankful for the blessings we have.
Love you all,
XOXO
