This morning we all got up to head down to Spring Mill State Park for the Woodmizer Picnic. I was really looking forward to a day away with the family. There was going to be plenty of fun activities and good food. They were giving away prizes and the grand prize was a 5 night Carnival Cruise!! I just knew we would win. :) The radar looked horrible for our area, but it was not showing any rain at the park. So off we go. We were headed down Highway 67 when we came to police blocking the road and turning us around. Flooding. No way to get through. No problem, I pulled out the trusty road map and we made our way over to IN-37 which is the major highway that runs to the park. Ten minutes later we hit stopped traffic. Blocked again! Turned on the radio and learned that the entire county was under a state of emergency and the roads were impassable. Then I did something I have never done nor hope to ever do again. I turned the car around in the road and headed down the shoulder on a 4 lane highway in the wrong direction. (I wasn't the only one). We headed home...through a monsoon!
There was no way I was giving up my day of fun. We stopped at home and conjured up a plan, and here's how the day went:
Lunch at Wendy's (Rachel's choice)
Watched Kung Fu Panda (Rachel's 1st time at the theater)
Went to the zoo
Drove around Monument Circle
Drove Aaron past the new Colts Stadium
Dinner at McAllister's
An evening swim at the Tetricks
And you know what....we had an awesome time together!
