Grandpa’s Glory - Part II


Back in October, I wrote a post about Ace’s Grandpa, my Dad.  Ace and his Grandpa didn’t get a long too good at first.  Grandpa would say “Hi!” and Ace would scream like a banshee!

It was tough on Grandpa, but things have been getting better…

Ace, Momma, and I spent all weekend at Grandpa’s just hanging out and swimming in the pool!  We had a blast and got some nice tan lines as a result. :D

As you probably know, Ace loves to ride on the mower, and when Grandpa started his up Ace wasn’t going to quit until he was taken for a ride.  It wasn’t hard for Ace to convince his Grandpa for a quick ride on the mower, but a quick ride turned into 20-30 minutes of lapping the yard.  :D

Grandpa and Ace Riding On The Mower

And after a long day in the sun, nothing is better than a nap in the recliner…

Grandpa and Ace Napping In The Recliner

It makes me think back to when my Grandpa took me for rides on his mower.  Something I will never forget!  I’m going to have to dig up some pictures of me riding on my Grandpa’s mower and napping in his recliner…and post them here of course.  :D

Sometimes it’s scary how much Ace and I are alike… :D

That last picture is priceless. Get that one framed man! (btw your blog is not banned in China, evidently. Greetings from the far east! I hope my blog will be ok while I’m gone…)

@BusyDad -
Sweet! I’m not banned in China! What do you gotta do to be banned in China?

I heard some rumors about your blog while you are gone, but I can;t tell. :D

I love that last pic too . . . just too sweet!

aw man, the last picture just melts my wee ticker.

@Honeybell -
Thanks Honeybell!

@Xbox4NappyRash -
Thanks XBox! (Although at first I thought you said your “Wee’s Ticker.” I was a bit cornfused… :) )

That last picture.. seriously. How freaking adorable.

Nothing like a bribe to get kiddies to like the older folks!

My dad does the same with 3yr old Caitlin! I can’t say I approve it all the time though!

By the way, you have been tagged!

I agree with others who said those pictures are absolutely priceless, especially the one in the recliner.

@Kim -
Thanks Kim! Nothing compared to your photo skills, but we’re getting better. :D

@JLow -

@KylieM -
Thanks Kylie! We went don this weekend again and they passed out in the chair together again. I think it is going to become a ritual every time we go down to see them. :D

Thanks for sharing these great memories!

@ourcrookedtree -
No problem! Thanks for reading them! :D

Jared it’s a wonderful thing when your Dad and your son connect. Glad it happened. (Usually honkin’ big man-toys like a ride-on mower or tractor help a lot here, too!)

@Pete Aldin -
It’s pretty cool to see, especially since they started off on the wrong foot.
