almost drowned in my backyard!!!

yes i know that this sounds impossible....clearly you have never been in my back yard when the snow starts to thaw. there is a raging river in the back yard and a large lake as well. well i decide i want to get a close up of the river flowing into the lake......i went through the snow....um to my waist....i soon realized the water was flowing very fast beneath me and trying to take my boot and me with it. every time i tried to move and get free i would sink deeper. at one point i was in up to my bra. i made it tho and did not drown!!!! any way here are the pictures!!!
