Patrick's Ark?

After spending an hour in our bathroom cuddling on Patrick's crib mattress during the 98th & University tornado scare, we braved the flood waters to have dinner with my folks, like we usually do on Sunday afternoons. After SEVERAL hours of the rain and too many satellite interruptions on the TV, Paul decided we needed to build a "boat" since there was a river on 93rd Street. He fashioned the USGC CODD out of some cardboard he found in the garage, some packing tape, wax paper and skewers. He braved the rain with Mom's green polka-dot umbrella to put the boat in street by the neighbors house. Mom tried to take pictures of the boat en float but the camera focused on the rain falling off the roof instead. All in all, it was a good adventure for a rainy Sunday evening. The USCG CODD is now docking in Mom and Dad's backyard by a chaise lounge. I imagine it's in shambles now since it was made out of cardboard and tape.

Hope everyone stays safe during all this crazy spring weather.
