Momaw Visits Belgium!

We were all so thrilled that Momaw Adkins was going to brave the long flight and 7 hour time change to come and see us!  She decided that at the great age of almost 88, she would get that passport and fly to Europe.  Amazing!  Of course we were double excited that Grammy and Paps came along with her!

Our first adventure with Momaw was the ISB International Festival.  It is one of the most exciting days for us ISBers!  There are booths and booths of yummy food and goods from each country represented at ISB.  It's a great day!

Of course we have to represent our country!

USA booth this year...."Take Me Out to the Ballgame"

Hanging out with our Aussies....Jo and Nathan

It was crowded!

Shayna and I working the American booth

Preslee hanging with her friends

The men...Tommy said the only thing wrong with the International Festival was that it only lasted for one day.  He needed more time to get to all the booths!

Wendy and Me!

We had a small after party at our house and Emerson loved the attention.

Preslee is teaching her all the pageant moves.....help me now!

On Sunday we took our visitors to one of my favorite places in Belgium....Grand Place

Momaw having her first real Belgian waffle

This chick loves them almost as much as Paps does....almost

Emerson loved to sit with Momaw and look at books.  They became fast buddies!

You can't come to Belgium and not visit the Atomium and of course this was after our trip to the "all you can eat" (without getting sick) chocolate shop!  And little miss discovered her pockets, she preceded to leave her hands in them that whole day!

Next up we head to London!
