Babysitting and the Flood

After the insane rainstorm Saturday, we (Amanda and I) spent a few hours cleaning up a flood in my Uncle and Aunts basement while I was watching their kids. My Uncle called while I was starting dinner and asked me to go check and see if the black tube that you put on the end of rain gutters was pointing into a window well on the side of their house. I went outside and found that it was pointing into the toy room window well and so I went down to see if it had flooded the toy room, there was a good amount of water covering the floor (lucky for them it is an unfinished room). I got all the kids together and some towels and buckets and started cleaning it up. After about and hour my Uncle had gotten home and pulled out the wet vac and finished things up. Then he took the carpet up right outside the toy room and got rid of the padding and made a clever rig for the carpet to get dry. We had a lot of fun while we cleaned the water we sang songs from Enchanted and some primary songs and got each other wet. All in all it was a lot of fun and we cleaned up about 12.5 gallons of water :)

Good Times at the Carnival

After my institute class I went over to my friend Ashley's apartment and went with her and some of our friends to the Provo Carnival. Lets just say the the Carnival workers are a bit on the interesting side :) Jen and I were the first off of the Ferris Wheel and trying to take pictures of the others as they went past and the Carnie came over asking if I got any good pictures and I said no and then being me I kept explaining why the pictures were not turning out. Then after I was done talking I didn't understand why he stayed around until Jen told me that I kept talking to him....sheesh :p I also went on 2 rides that spin the daylights out of you and laughed so hard the whole time. Let it be forever known that I love any ride that spins!
