Making Memories

Brayden Banks is one lucky did. His grandmother, Michelle Cuestas, waited in line for 43 hours to ensure the six-year-old from Stevens Point, Wisconsin, USA got to be first in line to place an order at the town's ice cream shop when it opened for the season. Everyone wants to be first in line when Belts' Soft Serve opens, which is why Cuestas slept in the Belts' bathroom the first night; then, waited in line with her grandson for 24 more hours until the landmark shop opened for business. It was worth it, she says, because she was making priceless memories with her grandson.
