Storm Chasers

Being a native of Indiana, I grew up being used to rain.  LOTS and LOTS of rain.  Nebraska, however, is a different story.  We typically get 14-16 inches of anual rain fall compared to the Hoosier states whopping 40-50 inches a year.  On the rare occassion that we do get a big rain, it creates a lot of excitement.  So we did what any responsible fun parent would do... we took the kids 4-wheeling to see the overflowing dams and washed out roads!

Overflowing Dam - The fences are almost under water!

Rippe Creek - We've never seen water here before!

Who would have thought playing in the rain was so much fun?!?!

A little cold... but ALL smiles!

So after 4.25" of rain in about 3 hours, we enjoyed a river and a lake on the place for a few days.  Swimming anyone?!?!
