We've had record rainfall after torrential storms, and without exaggeration, we could have gone swimming in our backyard....except that the "lake" was actually a muddy, raging river. This picture is from a few years ago, but the water was twice as high this last week.
In spite of some state-wide flooding we traversed creeks in our SUV, (once roads), to go to the 2008 Sprint Meet in Paris, IL. Several roads were closed from washouts, but we zigged and zagged to our destination. Over 100 swimmers from Illinois and Indiana made it to the meet.
My boys were glad we made the extra effort and put forth their own EXTRA efforts, earning themselves a First Place Overall trophy for their individual age divisions. Both sons beat some of their personal best times, which makes them even happier. Our daughter also won several medals and bested her own times in several events. What a day....and there is more rain on the way! Swimming may turn out to be a life skill we really need at this rate. |
