The Newell Family: Our Parent's Vist

We knew it wouldn't be long until we had our first visitors. Our parents flew into Calgary and came to visit us for 10 days. It was the best visit and we were so happy to show our parents our new home. Brandon's team had a bunch of home games that we got to take them too. Among the highlights were Dan getting to throw out the first pitch to Brandon. As well Kim got to throw out the first pitch on the 4th of July to Brandon in an absolutely amazing costume!! The team had a breast cancer game where they all wore pink jersey's and auctioned them off to raise money. The team raised over $16,000. One of the coolest things was a dad that bought Brandon's jersey gave it to Kim as he said he knew how much it meant to her. Brandon signed the shirt for his mom!! It was very touching. Outside of baseball I took my mom to Banff and surprised her with horseback riding tickets. We got to ride through the mountains and threw the river. It was truly a moment to cherish. Our parents also happened to be here during the Calgary Stampede. We got all dressed up in our Cowboy attire and went into the city where we got to take in the Rodeo, the Fair, the concerts, and much more. It was a magical time.
The 10 days was jammed packed full of activity and lots of laughter. It was such an amazing visit and we were sad when they had to leave. We took so many pictures, but I only posted a few here. Overall it was the best time and we are looking forward to the next visit.
