Driven inside

We've not had the best weather these holidays - the boys have had to spend a good amount of time indoors. Good thing they still love reading! We've played a game of Scrabble (although that ended badly when the boys wanted to pack up the tiles by throwing them around the lounge), and they've taken the time to play Monopoly.  Aaron gathered a large stack of money but few properties, where Caleb bought up as much as he could.  Interesting how the use of money is reversed in real life!  

While parts of the South Island have had extreme flooding and even some parts of Timaru were without power because of the heavy rain, strong wind and high volume of water everywhere, we just had a bit of mild surface flooding on our street.  Apparently this weather system has brought the most rain in something like 20 years!
