Mom's visit Part 1

Going back to trying to catch up on the haps in the household... My mom came out to visit from August 5th through August 12th. We had a great visit and a lot of fun. Obviously, I don't get a chance to see her nearly as much as I'd like so every time I do see my mom it's really special.
