We spent Memorial Day weekend in Minot. My cousin Maren graduated from Minot High School. Congratulations, but what?! Wow that went fast. She is a gem and she's on her way to
UND next year, where she will do great.
The official cousin's photo is below, but it's not really official because we were missing Stephanie. (boo
hoo, we miss you,
Steph).
Look how big Will is getting!
After Maren's party, we spent some time at Great-
Gma Betty's house where Gus was introduced to gambling. I'm happy to report he kinda freaked out when the machine cashed out because it was "too loud".
Speaking of cha-ching or
bling, while Nora was sitting on her
Gma Betty's lap, she was doing her normal baby thing and reaching for anything within an arms length. The first thing she saw was her Great-Aunt Nancy's ring. Um, yeah, and it's not a small ring. She grabbed and thought, "well this is gorgeous. I must eat it."
Luckily
Gma Betty was quick and grabbed it before it went into her mouth.
She did get to try it on for size, however. It was too big.
Waay too big.
Great-Uncle Leo and Nora.
We also hit up
Gma Debi and
Gpa Steve's house. Gus helped
Gpa plant some flowers.
He continued the yard work later that night with
Gpa Dave, too. For like an hour. Or until the tractor ran out of gas.
We were also happy to spend some time with Ross' cousin, Anita, who was visiting from Billings, MT. Nora loved her! Cheese!
The day we left Minot, everything was fine. Only 24 hours later, the flood fight of the century began for thousands of people in the Minot community. Although the forecast was grim, it seems the grave danger has passed, and now all the poor families who scrambled to move everything up and out of their homes, can go back. To a dry house. Thank God! Can we have summer now please? KThanks.
