The First Day of School That Never Was...

Well, as excited as we were for school to start, we had to wait. Hurricane Harvey came in as expected, and threw a wrench in EVERYthing! It started to rain and rain and rain and it didn't stop! We have been through hurricanes and bad rain storms before, but this one was pretty crazy. The hurricane made landfall, and it just didn't leave. Luckily, all of our family and most of our friends were safe, but it got really scary there for a couple days! People in the neighborhood were posting on our neighborhood for high water rescues. There were boats and jet skis that were being launched about 1/2 mile from the house to go and help people. The news was showing all kinds of crazy rescues and rising water everywhere. We were stuck in our neighborhood for a couple days because almost every way out was flooded in. The girls and I went for a short walk to see how high the water was, and we just went one block down before we couldn't go anymore. The water was still so high in the street! It was crazy!
