Being Grandparents

Being a grandparent is the best! Eric's family was here for a week and it was fun to get to know them a little better and do fun things together.

Ethan and Ella found some wigs in the attic and thought it was fun to play around with them.



The little girl on the left is not one of our grandchildren, but the other three are.


Ethan playing a spelling game on my computer.



Ella playing with my guitar. Maybe some day she will learn how to play it.


One thing we always like to do when they are in town is to go to Apollo Park. It is such a nice park with several play grounds, ducks, geese, and small lake.


Ethan and Ella like feeding the ducks and geese. The geese can get pretty agressive when they know you have food so Ethan and Ella always head for the safety of the picnic tables when dispensing the food.




Speaking of ducks, this one really fits the part of The Ugly Duckling. This is the ugliest duck I've ever seen. It is really deformed and unhealthy looking. Poor thing was barely able to walk. The tumorous growth on the head probably prevents it from seeing well, if at all.



Ethan and Ella always love spending a lot of time playing at the different playgrounds.








I love this picture of Grandpa helping Ella down from a high portion of the apparatus.

I sure do wish my grandchildren lived closer so we could have more outings together. Wishing isn't always getting, so until then, we will just cherish the times we do get to spend together.

Glad you could spend some time with your grandkids--not enough, I'm sure. I could hardly recognize Ethan and Ella with those wigs on.

That poor duck. Your right it is pretty ugly.

Looks like a lot of fun! I hope you were feeling better, but if not, it looks like you didn't let it spoil anyone's fun!

I'm glad you were able to spend some quality time with the grandkids. You all look very happy. Love the duck pictures. Sometimes I feel like I am that duck! Not really!
