River Run

We spent a week in Coeur D' Alene and it was interesting hearing all the flood stories from the neighbors.  We have wonderful neighbors that protected the house while we were oblivious in California.  They called us after it was over.  I guess the record snow fall this year, along with a lot of rain, followed closely by a heat wave that melted the adjacent mountain snow, caused a swelling of the river in our backyard.  It was the first flood since 1996 and hopefully the last for another decade or more.  The first couple days we took down sand bags and did a lot of clean up, but we had a great time the rest of the trip.  Grammy stayed the whole trip and Grandpa Mark came for a few days too, but had to go back to work.  It was a great time had by all.
