Lake Bella Luna

Bet you did not know that we owned water front property in Spring, TX!

Sunday morning we woke up to power.....Glenne jumped out of bed and was dancing, Hailey and I were cracking up at him. We get a knock on the door a little while later and its our neighbor telling us to move our car up further in the drive way. At that point Glenne called "family, please come to the door" and we saw that our entire neighborhood was flooded. We do not know it it was from clogged sewer's or if the storm surge and all the rain in the sewer's. The entire neighborhood was underwater. I do not know if anyone got water in their homes or not. We got water up to the middle, or a little higher up the front lawn. Needless to say...we were not going anywhere that day....and unfortunately we could not drive on the street till tuesday. Kandi and Chris did not have power still so they braved the water and came over...so did Jill and Bryan. We cooked up food and ate a lot, watched football.


On Monday we were going stir crazy....I think knowing that you cannot get out makes it worse. Glenne went into the garage and got out an air mattress and an old baby tub of Hailey's. He put the air mattress in the water and the tub on top of the mattress and pushed Hailey up and down the street. She thought it was a blast, I was a bit nervous cause she jsut does not stop moving.



Glenne and Hailey going up the street. (notice the comcast truck...he did not move for 3 days or so)

This frog was just sitting on the faucet on the side of the house.
This is what we woke up to on sunday morning.

Hope you enjoy the pictures. Life on Bella Luna ct is back to normal now...THANK GOODNESS!!!
