Lake house adventures

Two weekends ago we went back up to Arkansas to work on the lake house. It rained the entire time! Greg was able to get the yard mowed before it started raining too hard! He is loving the 4 wheeler and pull behind mower! 

With the help of Greg's mom, we were able to get a lot done that weekend. We built doors for the other side of the shed and hung them. We painted a couple interior doors for the house. And Greg decided that he wasn't happy with the shower set up, so he demolished part of the bathroom! Awesome! Now we get to learn how to put up backer board and tile! That's for another weekend. We did have the heating and air installed! It is much nicer up there now! It's almost ready for visitors! 

On our way home we ran in to bad traffic in the middle of nowhere. We sat without moving for an hour (some people were getting out of their cars and talking to their neighbors!). So we decided to take a detour and use the GPS to find us a different route. We end up turning onto a road that we think should bring us back to the main road past the accident. At one point we had to drive over a little running water. No problem in Greg's truck. But we probably should have turned around when we ran into this...

That would be a family trying to get a hold of their two horses who happened to get lose because of all the flooding! You can see the water is almost to the road in this section. But we decided to go ahead and a little further down the road we saw an SUV stuck in the middle of a flowing river! They were attempting to get across the road, but the water was too high and running too fast and they weren't going anywhere! So at that point we decided to turn around and go past the horses (who were still on the loose) and back through the overflowing section. What an adventure! After all of that, we only added an extra hour and a half to our trip. Not too bad! Hopefully Arkansas gets a little reprieve from the rain for a while!
