WI cont.

After my cousin's wedding, we went to go see my Grandma Hamelink. We met my Uncle Bob and his family at the home where she lives.

Here's a wall with lots of pictures of family for my Grandma to look at and try to remember. Grandma didn't remember us, as I suspected she wouldn't with her increasing dementia. She said that it was nice to meet us all. Thankfully, she is aware of her son who comes by often to visit.


We chatted with her after she finished her dinner in the lobby. It's a pretty homey place and the residents seem to be well taken care of.
One thing I always want to remember about my Grandma is how she prayed for me each day that she had the memory to. My Grandma would always write in her letters or tell me that she prayed for me everyday. I wasn't sure I believed "everyday". While I was at her house in 2000 for my Grandpa's funeral I slept on the couch in the living room and she came in that room early and sat on a chair and started praying. I could hear only whispers, but I did hear her say my name; she thought I was still sleeping. Anyways, that had a deep impact on me and I'm grateful that God has heard her prayers. I hope that I will pray for the future generation and my family as she did. Hopefully, one day soon she will be able to see the effects of her prayers while she is rejoicing in heaven.



Before we drove David to the airport, we went to a brewery. The tour wasn't until later, so we had to settle for the gift shop.


My mom, Jose and I toured the Green Bay Packer's stadium.


Jose imagining what it'd be like as a Packer running out to the cheering crowd.


Natural Cheese heads. As a side note, we had our quota of cheese curds while in the cheese land. Yum...too bad they're not considered a health food.

Then we headed back to spend the last night with the fam. On the way we stopped by a lake.
Always a good time for a smooch!
We went out for our last Wisconsin meal.

This is the Marriott we stayed in our last night. This one had the largest space, with an upstairs and two full bathrooms.
So that pretty much sums up our trip.
Mom, hope you enjoy the pictures, even though they're not the best quality. Thanks for driving us around everywhere! We had a fun, relaxing time :)
