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. 😀
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. 😀
And after a long day in the sun, nothing is better than a nap 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. 😀
Sometimes it’s scary how much Ace and I are alike… 😀
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. 😀
I love that last pic too . . . just too sweet!
@Honeybell –
Thanks Honeybell!
aw man, the last picture just melts my wee ticker.
@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.
@Kim –
Thanks Kim! Nothing compared to your photo skills, but we’re getting better. 😀
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!
@JLow –
Thanks for the tagging…I’ll be over ina few to check it out. 😀
I agree with others who said those pictures are absolutely priceless, especially the one in the recliner.
@Jeremy (Discovering Dad) –
Thanks Jeremy! I’m working on those questions for ya. I’ll have them to ya by Thursday…promise! 😀
hehe so glad that Ace and his Grandpa are getting along, particularly love the sleeping in poppa’s arms photo! too cute 🙂
@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. 😀
Thanks for sharing these great memories!
@ourcrookedtree –
No problem! Thanks for reading them! 😀
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.
