Lake McCoy

As is tradition, we were at my parents house for Christmas. While the neighborhood we live in on the other side of the state was getting snow, it was nothing but rain at the McCoy's. Christmas Eve morning we woke up to a "lake" in their front yard.....

The rain continued all through the day and night on Christmas Eve. (I think Santa may have used a boat to get up to the house). We didn't venture out on Christmas Eve but we had to get out on Christmas Day to go do Christmas with the Coomer's. Here we are in my car heading out my parents driveway...

There is a ditch that runs through this property and I was just praying our wheels would stay on the pavement and that we wouldn't take a Christmas Day dip.

We made it out onto the highway and here's a grainy picture (taken with my cell phone) of the front view....(all of that water is their yard which means it should be grass!)

They had a set of 4 Christmas light displays set up. You can click on the picture above and see only 1 of them in the top left. That is a golf flag. The golfing Santa and the reindeer who was Santa's caddy had fallen over in all the water. And the 4th display - a cute snowman in a golf cart went MIA in all the water. Let my parents know if you see a snowman floating in a golf cart somewhere!
