Flood Fun

Due to the quick jump in temperatures, Utah and Salt Lake Valleys have experienced some minor flooding recently. While coming home from Grandma and Grandpa Fowlers on Sunday evening we stopped at Lehi Elementary and watched as water gushed into the parking lot and field, completely covering it. A bit closer to home at Hidden Park, the creek was overflowing its banks and flooded the playground and field. The kids were dying to play in it, but we were not prepared with towels and suits, so we promised we would come back in the morning.
After bribing the kids to get their jobs done, we suited and sunscreened up and drove over to the park. The kids had so much fun running through the water. Kate wasn't too sure what to do at first, but she figured it out soon enough. It was just the right amount of water to have fun in and not have to worry about the kids. Since I'm still in my boot, I sat on the sidelines, read my magazines, took pictures and laughed.
I felt a bit guilty that some people were experiencing flooded basements while we were playing in that same water. But, the water was there and the kids had so much fun. After we went to lunch at Carl's Jr. It was a great morning!
