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...

The Pasture Inbetween Flood Waters

I stopped by the pasture on my way home from Wichita.  Grandma and Grandpa were there also so we inspected things and took some pictures. Grandma and I walked down as there was a path we could stay dry on.  In an hours time the water rose so there was no dry path anymore from the dike and you could hear the water moving.  It is amazing how fast it can come and what damage it can do.  However, the bad news is the water will be higher the next time we look! 
We lost this tree to the north of the kids cabin.The one behind it is leaning and roots are showing so think it maybe next.

Looking across to the bathroom.

The shed door was pushed open by the water, the propane tank was carried to the tree and the frame of the sandbox was carried down east by the standing birdhouse.

You can see how high the water was on the side of the shed wall.



The downed tree.

The sandbox frame.

The pond has risen also.  Grandpa says this is underflow.

  1. Wow! It is amazing how fast it changes. When we were there on Sunday afternoon, the pond was about the same as always.
