This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Family Reunion and Flood

This past week-end was busy and a bit unique.  First the Kinast family reunion which was held at Dillon
Nature Center.  I love that place I just wish I was small enough to play in the kids area.  Oh well, we had
31 people attend and a lot of good food.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it  and the "original 4" were
all in attendance.  That evening we had a big thunder storm and a lot of rain  (between 6 and 7 inches) which fell in about 30 minutes.  When we looked out the next morning our street was all under water.
More water than we have had for years!!  Of course our first thought was "is it going to flood at the pasture"  There had been a lot of flood warnings out from rain earlier in the week.  As the day went on and the river began to rise we made our way to the pasture to check it out.  10 feet is flood stage and
it was 9.66.  Some water was just coming into the area we mow but by evening it had leveled out at 11 feet and we got word that the flood committee felt we were safe this time.  Thank goodness!

    Great update and good photos...except for that whole flooding bit, which doesn't sounds like fun - I hear that everything made it out OK for the most part....good thing that the cabins are on stilts now!
