An unexpected diversion

After weeks of waiting, they finally resurfaced our road this week. They just paved the part outside our house first thing yesterday morning. I was walking up to Tilles Park to get the kids and saw that the water main had burst AGAIN, this time further up the road. It was pouring out of the ground in our neighbour's yard.  The new grass was completely washed out 

Of course, as soon as they heard about it, the kids wanted to rush home so that they could see it.  They had great fun riding their bikes through it

They had to turn the water off again, second time we've been without water recently.  After they had fixed the break, they opened the fire hydrants at both ends of the street to clean everything. It was like Christmas for the kids (all 3 of them).

They ran around in the water for ages, even though it was freezing.  Greta said she couldn't feel her feet!!!  Who knew you could have so much fun with a little (OK, a lot) water.
