It has been a bit rainy around here

We have been going a little bit stir crazy from staying inside due to all of that rain. So it stopped raining for a little bit and we decided it was time for a short walk. We checked out how high the river is behind our house, and had a little bit of fun. I took a bunch of pictures and took this video.

Here the water has started to flood the walkway.

This is a view of the river from the bridge behind our house.

This is on the other side of the river.

Heading to the grove where we played in the puddles :)

Looking at the back of our house from across the pond that hadn't been there before this spring...

We had a first this morning....

The girls made their first "I can't believe it mess"... 

to set the scene... Audrey likes to help out when she can. And sometimes I let her feed the cats. Usually we keep all of the cat stuff in the basement, i.e. food, kitty litter, etc. but right now we have all of that stuff upstairs  so we can remodel the basement. (Which is coming along just great I will have to post about that soon.) 

Audrey noticed this morning that the cats were without food and was all over asking if she could feed them. I said yes. (and yes that is where my mistake was) Audrey knows the general portions to feed the cats. She gives them just a little more than they are supposed to get. But she gets the idea... Ellie however does not. Ellie thought they were just having fun and giving the kitties "TWEET". Ellie loves to give the dog "tweet", as well and will give her many, many bones if I don't tell her that is enough. But also they began to have fun just digging into the cat food... and this is what I found when I decided to investigate why Audrey was not done feeding the cats as it is only a maybe 3 minute job...

Okay, so it wasn't a horribly horrible mess... but it still made me shake my head in confusion... needless to say this morning is starting out "wonderfully"...
