The Mighty Mississippi

As many of you have heard, the might Mississippi river has expereinced record breaking flooding during the month of May. One of the nights, we grabbed a pizza and headed downtown to see the river and spend some time together as a family.I couldn't believe how much it had flooded. From what I heard on line, the flood reached record breaking levels of flooding. It was fun to hear the kids comments about the flooding and the concern they had about the water level. The Mud Island area I have taken the kids to in the past was under water as well as other historic areas of downtown. I was surprised to see people playing in the water when only a few feet down the river was a huge dead finish as well as other floating things in the already dirty water.It was a fun to spend time together as a family and notice the historic event.
