Water Park Disaster

Last week we went to Provo water park, and today we decided to try the Salt Lake one.  We all had a great time.

 

Ammon was finally brave enough to do this slide.  Tarin was a great big sister to help him.

We got to the park about 10 am and by 1pm I came to the van to grab our lunches...and this is what I saw.  It was a bit surreal and still I can't believe it happened.  The one time I leave my purse out...it was tucked behind the passenger seat but still visible.  My purse was taken and Jarom's itouch was stolen out of the glove box.  Luckily nothing else of worth was in the van.  Called Trent to start the process of cancelling cards and then called the SLC police...which was no help at all.  They don't send anyone out, only a call back for a full report to be filed...which took them 6 hours to call back.

We were all in tears, feeling violated, vulnerable, and shocked with utter disgust.  I sat everyone down and tried to calm their hearts with their picnic. 

 Jarom was just given his itouch from Rian and had the screen replaced by Trent so he was really feeling let down and disappointed...and now you see Ammon was in tears for Jarom and the situation and just wanted to hug him forever.  It was a special moment.

Although many sentimental items and knickknacks were in my purse, no long term damage was made.  The thieves did try an ATM but were unsuccessful.  I've been a bit jarred by this experience, not sleeping well and worried about identity theft and all the daunting things we need to do to fix everything, but I know we were blessed and watched over.
