We had a grand time in Des Moines with the junior and senior Houghtons. What fun we had with our shared grand girls. We managed to eat yummy food several times (including great tacos from Tasty Taco). We played games, made puzzles, attended a local basketball game, and enjoyed our time together--laughing, telling stories and hugging!! It was wonderful to have Patty and Charlie in Des Moines to share the festivities. We are so blessed to have such good friends and family.
