Time for Grandsons


We have just returned from a three day vacation with our two teen-aged grandsons. We went to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA where we rode some scary rides, saw some silly shows, watched the fireworks, played in the wave pool and floated along the lazy river. We had discussions about important topics like whether pretzels taste better in twisted shapes or straight and the fact that grilled cheese sandwiches should always be cut in triangles. There was also some talk about what they wanted to do with their lives and what they need to do to achieve their goals. Our sixteen year old with his learner’s permit drove the whole way there and most of the way back. He only scared me a couple of times.

In my head these two are my little boys. In reality they are now man-sized almost adults. I am always surprised at how quickly children grow up. Enjoy each precious moment with your little ones.

So good that you have seen grandchildren grow up - my grandparents had all passed away by the time i was 10 and I remember one in particular - he was wonderful but the memories I could have had had they lived would have been wonderful no doubt

What a lovely time you had with your boys. My beloved grandfather died when I was about 11 but I have wonderful memories of him.
And yes they do grow up way too fast.

Isn't strange how they grow up to be people with ideas and opinions and dreams........ I guess that's the point. How great to share time with them and enjoy their company.
