Lake Angelee

I bet you have never heard of Lake Angelee. It is a lake that only shows up once in a while, usually when some kids(there is 13 in the cul-de-sac) have been outside playing and then there is a heavy rainstorm. When the kids go inside they sometimes forget(I know that a kid forgetting to do something is hard to believe, but it happens occasionally around here) to remove the boards that keep their balls and toys from falling into the storm drain. We call it Lake Angelee because that is the name of the street we live on. It shows up a couple times a year. Its depth depends on how long it took someone to go out in the rain and pull the boards out of the storm drain. The kids would love to go back out and play in it, but it is usually only here in the cold weather times of the year. We have thought about making Lake Angelee in the summer so the kids could play in it, but city water is expensive here in Lebanon. We will have to hope for a heavy rain in the summer.
