I have always heard that you are a true Texan ONLY if you have seen an live armadillo. Well, and if you can pronounce Mexia right. And I can. I claim this state and have only seen the road kill kind of armadillo. Until the big rain storm we had recently.
We had a whole lot of rain, serious flooding around here. And we were driving by the YMCA and Camie noticed this cute little armadillo walking down the road. I stuck my car in reverse and we ALL saw a LIVE armadillo. Armor and all. It didn't run from us, just quietly stood there. I grabbed my phone and got this picture. We were all so excited. All that rain had driven in from its home. Everywhere was flooded, the water was even coming into one of the buildings at the Y.
Here is a picture of the retnion pond behind the elementarty school which is usually empty. The kids were so in awe at how full it was.
And here is the retention pond accross from the school that is always empty. Full too. I think we got over 30 inches of rain in about a week.
And now we came claim true Texan!
