VIDEO: Utah family wake surfs in their backyard after record rainfall
Problem here and of course *** Farmington family decided to make the most of the mess this weekend, attempting to wake surf in their backyard. *** lot of water coming into the yard, nonstop, and my husband's hunting, and I thought, there's nothing I can do about this. So my kids started planning it and then I thought, I think we can do one better. So I grabbed *** ski rope and we put it on the back of the car and off we went. Were you worried about your kids getting hurt or dragged behind your car because we're gonna have to say, you know, don't try this at home. Um. You know, I was, I was careful. I'll say I was careful, but I think sometimes we're too careful in this world, so I think *** little bit of excitement's OK. Stacy Durius has 4 older brothers, and she got one of them to jump in on the fun. They are usually the ones that are telling me to do crazy things and getting me when I was younger to do crazy things, and now I'm the younger sister who brings them to come and play with me too. He's putting on his wetsuit and getting right in, her kids watching from the back of her car. Stacey says she's never seen this kind of water in her yard and corral area here in Farmington, where she runs *** small farm and keeps horses. The record rainfall Saturday transformed this into *** muddy mess. I was like, Oh man, the kids are going to be *** mess. And then I thought, you know what, let's just make the best of this, um, and go have some fun. And it looks like they did.
