There is nothing more precious than grandchildren. They melt your heart with a glance or a smirk. They make you feel wealthy, especially in the "toy section" of the store. When you hang out with these little innocent wide eyed wonders, you feel like a kid again. Visiting the Gillis Farm, NC with an almost 2 year old grandson made these simple things seem amazing to the Pop Pop and Nannie:
A tractor with its humongous tires.
A pumpkin too big to carry.
A ride on Pop Pop's shoulders to grab the colorful fall leaves.
The graceful daddy long-legger spider climbing up a stick to tickle a little hand.
The "uh-oh" when the horsey did a "do do".
The grandson sneaking his carrot snacks to the baby bunnies.
The grandson sneaking his cheese crackers to the hungry chickens.
The grandson throwing his cookies to the Canadian Geese.
The grandson pointing to ice cream for a snack. (The packed snacks have mysteriously disappeared.)
The heavy sigh and the heavy lids during the car ride home to see Mommy and Daddy.
Nannie and Pop Pop were pooped too.
Darn! why do we have to live 6 hours away from this sweet bundle of joy!
