We have about 50 to 100 houses flooded right now and if the weather and the dike system flawlessly cooperate for the next 2 months that may be all. We've had a bit of unexpected luck recently with no rain and no high temps melting mountain snow.

Most of the time it's relegated to handprints on the wall. Sigh.<br /><br />We used to catch these as a kid and they used to get quite large.

Definitely a highlight of the trip.<br />I'm exhausted all the time and quite whiny about it, I might add. And sleep. Oh, sleep. I wish I could get through a whole night without waking up several times. Just par for the course, I guess.

And the crawdads are beloved pets for a few days--he'll take them to school tomorrow:-)) He's in the "Living Things" project group in his class (along with 2 or 3 other friends).

We didn't have crawdads nearby, but I was known to carry toads and snakes around for hours.<br />What's going to happen to the crawdads in the sink?
