Grandma Judy and Grandpa Strode spent a weekend in Des Moines with their favorite (and only) grandgirls. Of course, we were delighted to spend time with our favorite daughter, Michelle, and favorite son-in-law, John. It was a wonderful time laughing, playing and visiting with the Houghtons. Michelle and Mom got in some shopping, which is always fun. Michelle got in some scrapbook time with friends while Sara, Lori, Grandma and Grandpa ran through the mall stopping at Build-a-Bear and munching on yummy pretzel sticks.
