Grandma finds heaven at Waterside Place

Mill Creek 4-year-old Connor Hawkins and his grandmother, Amie Golden, danced to the live music during an evening at Waterside Place on Feb. 18.

Golden said she has lived in “a grandparent’s heaven” since Hawkins’ family bought a house in Mill Creek a little more than a year ago.

That evening, the family ate at Good Liquid Brewing Co. before enjoying ice cream. They finally headed out to dance to live circus swing and American roots music by Dean Johanesen.

“It’s just a gorgeous place to be, and beautiful at sunset,” she said.

“It’s been great,” Johanesen said. “There have been a lot of kids dancing. It’s so much fun. They’re so honest and pure.”
