We all took a drive around Devils Lake today to see how much it has risen. The water level blows my mind. There are so many roads in danger of going underwater and there are roads that have been swallowed by the lake. Not to mention the homes and farmland that has been devoured. It is heartbreaking to see the devastation and it is unbelievable that the lake has been rising for nearly 2 decades and nothing has been done to alleviate the situation.  The girls got bored of driving around and not being able to see much (guess we shouldn't have put them in the third row).  When we got back to Mom and Dad's, Susan and the kids were there and Sarah and her bunch showed up a little later. We had a great afternoon catching up and playing outside, topped off by a delicious dinner. It was so nice to see everyone and all the "little" ones have changed so much. Things like that make me wish we lived closer to our families. We miss out on so much and it is so hard to catch up in such a short time :-(


Just had to get a photo around a John Deere :-}
