Family Reunion in Kanab

My family always loves going to Kanab for the family reunion. Too bad it isn't closer... i might just want to move there! This year was a little more eventful. While driving into Kanab, Brett called and said the news says there is a flash flood warning for the area. Seems like there is often flash flood warnings, and nothing ever happens... NOT THIS TIME. It was raining really hard in the middle of the night - lots of thunder and lighting - windy - and a lot of water. We woke up because our car alarm went off. Chad ran down stairs to see what was going on. He stepped right into a huge puddle of water covering the entire basement of the town home we were staying in. What a mess. Red muddy water was everywhere. Outside the door it was a couple feet deep. It was cool to see the town pull together to help save what they could of peoples homes. By mid morning they had all the drains working again, and everyone was cleaning everything up. We just moved to a different hotel and our vacation went on as planned. We all met up with the boys during the golf tournament - which they won. The kids loved riding in the carts and being with dad and grandpa on the golf course. A little (actually a lot) of rain cant ruin our parade.









Porter took this picture of a road in Kanab after we played golf... The rains stopped quickly, but you can see what a mess the red dirt makes!

Such cute kids! I need Roc to teach Kenny that. He's still afraid to get his face wet. Loved Trace's joke too. :)
