Brenda Loosbrock and her sister, Vonnie Masselink, and niece Michelle of Sioux Falls traveled to Omaha, NE to spend time with her daughters Nichole Loosbrock and Anthony & Mary Jean Giovanni. They were joined by Felicia Wolf of St. Paul, three of Nichole’s college friends, Shelly Loosbrock of Benedictine College in Atchison, KS, and Bethany Loosbrock of Overland Park,KS for Nichole’s wedding dress shopping on Saturday. Later that evening they went cosmic bowling; forming teams of the youngest and oldest. The bowling alley had equipment “suited” for Brenda and she is proud to say that the “old folks” won. Brenda had the highest score of all!! Grandma Brenda was also able to enjoy some snuggle time with her newest granddaughter, Gianna, while staying at the Giovanni home. What a great weekend!
