Granny camps out 43 hours for grandson’s ice cream
STEVENS POINT, Wis. — Here’s one Wisconsin grandmother who makes time for her grandson. Michelle Cuestas of Green Bay used two vacation days and camped out for 43 hours to make sure her grandson would be first in line for the 2010 opening of a Stevens Point ice-cream landmark.
Belts’ Soft Serve opened for the year Friday at 11 a.m. Thanks to grandma, 6-year-old Brayden Banks placed the first order.
The Stevens Point Journal said Cuestas arrived Wednesday at 4 p.m. She planned to spend the night in her car but after locking her keys in the car, she instead slept in the Belts bathroom.
Brayden arrived Thursday morning. The two passed the last 24 hours playing games, reading and drawing.
Cuestas said the wait was worth it. She said making memories with her grandson is priceless.
