The little guy wanted to head out to see the drums agian... he really likes that place! While there, I noticed the lake's level is getting pretty high. I guess all the rain we've been getting is adding up.

Back at the drums
We've been coming here a lot... but its fun to watch the little guy enjoy it, and its not far out of the way

Heading in
He has to make sure the 'droplets' are in the right bins... =]

Sending the balls on their way
He has his favorite tubes...

Heading to the waterfall
With a zip in his step, we headed out to see the waterfall and the lake

Lots of water
The stream was pretty swollen, and the falls were spilling out on the road

Spilling over
Its the highest its been since I've been paying attention to it...

Flooded path
Even the little path down to the roadway was flooded over a bit...

Oer the roadway
Water was spilling over the roadway... not a lot, but enough to be pretty exciting to a 2-year old!

High water
The lake's height was pretty startling... it has risen a LOTsince we were there last!

The Tunnel Stumps
10 days ago, we could walk out to these stumps... now even the beach leading to them is gone.

The lake
High or low, the Lake is a very nice place just to take in the view!

Flood Gauge
The last time we were here, the gauge was out of the water... a 4 foot rise in a lake is a LOT of water!

No beach
Not sure how much higher it'll go... but it'll be interesting to see it in a few days -- its supposed to rain for the remainder of the week.

Mocton
Another view of Mocton, the town that was flooded. The area where the town is in this picture is now under water.

Nice view
We come here a lot, but I don't mind... its a nice area to walk around at, and I really hope I never get tired of the scenery!
