Unfortunate Event

While we were at Bear Lake, some tubing slipped off the dishwasher in my parents house that they had turned on before they left. Sunday afternoon. My dad got home Tuesday night. So for 2 1/2 days hot water ran through my parents house.

My dad called the emergency people and they came and ripped everything out and moved everything out of the rooms that were damaged.

The Kitchen/Dining Room

The Living Room (which now houses the fridge)
The bedroom directly beneath the kitchen. This was the worst. It was torn down to studs and cement.
This room also housed my mom's wedding dress and my wedding dress. We're still waiting to hear how those turn out.
All of the stuff was shoved into the Family Room
And the Garage

Luckily my dad went home early, otherwise it could've been worse. Not that this is fun for my mom by any means. But now she gets a new kitchen, so that's fun.
When we got home Thursday morning they had fans going to dry everything out and they had to keep going until Saturday night. It sounded like a tornado. And the only place to really sit was in my parent's bedroom.
Which presented a challenge for our Girls Weekend.
