Christmas Eve in Kanab, UT!!!

On the 23rd as I was leaving the airport, riding the bus to the employee parking lot, I received a call from Keifer. For once they had left early; I was proud of them for getting an early start so they could travel in the snow in daylight. When I saw the call from Keifer I thought he was checking in but how wrong I was. He was checking in alright to tell us that the engine on the Lexus has seized and they were stranded in Kanab. They told us they had called the sheriff for help and he refused. It was snowing, so they put on the snowboard gear and got out of the car and began "thumbing". They said it was snowing. The trucker took them back into town to the Uhaul store. One inside they discovered the guy behind the counter was the sheriff who wouldn't come help them!! So remember that all of you who stop in Kanab!! The Uhaul was going to be about $1200.00, so Bob and I got a dollie in Phoenix for $39 and headed to Kanab. Keifer and Justin got a hotel room and waiting for us to show up about 10:30. We had a warm night in the hotel room and woke up early Christmas Eve for an early start. We headed down for breakfast only to be greeted by a bus full of Japanese tourist!! At that point I felt like I was in some kind of cruel movie!! We managed some breakfast and headed home to deliver the car in our front yard! I don't think I'll soon forget this Christmas Eve! but all were safe and sound!
and the even crazier part of the story was Lisa had a feeling that something was going to happen to the boys. She made me promise I would let her know each time then checked in. I thought she was being silly--but it was me that was a bit off!
