Last month, Brad's mom came to visit for about 2 1/2 weeks. And while that seems like a REALLY long time (especially since Betty is my mother-in-law), it was such a blessing! I'll admit that I wasn't quite sure how the visit was going to go because I had rough start. I had to load up the kids (in our tiny Civic), pack a bag, spend the night in the Cities, pick her up at the airport, and drive back...all within 24 hours. But the visit couldn't have gone better. Betty was here at the perfect time. The first three days she was here, Brad was at senior high camp. And the last 3 days, Brad was at Missions Brainerd, and it was so nice having an extra person around.
In the middle of her visit, Brad's older brother and his family were here as well for a cousin's wedding. Sammy had such a great time playing with her younger cousin Lauren. And Lauren LOVED Sammy's slide!
We also got together with several Aust relatives from Minneapolis, Texas, and California. It was such a treat to see everyone.
Even though Brad had to work during the day, we managed to go play for awhile at Whipple Beach and enjoy some great Rafferty's pizza that night.
Sammy had such a great time with Grandma! Here they are having a picnic in her room. We LOVE you Grandma Aust!
