I’m thinking Grandpa has kids for summer holidays. They likely love coming to your place and help make there own toys.
HAPPY kids = HAPPY Grandpa !

Our oldest grandson is in the Navy Reserves and taking a year of active duty orders this fall.

We have had them quite a bit lately. 3 or 4 days while the kids prepared for their annual 4th of July party. It takes a little effort to prepare 75# of meat and ect for 125 people. ;-) Then, they came back to go to teh coast for a weekend and again for 2 more weeks of Campfire camp while the kids painted their house.

Being GP is a lot more fun than being dad ;-0 ;-)

Great job my friend and Drake knows it 1st hand. I can build all sorts of things but I have a hard time with toys because they are small and complicated.

Grand children are great… they wrap us around their little fingures at birth and we love it.

Thank God, I was picturing and old water heater tank with a compressor line in a murky lake like happened to me when I was 5.

Something the lad will always remember, spending the summer at granpas and all those toys he made for me.

A very traditional way of providing fun for kids, if parents spent a little more imagination in this department rather than taking them out on expensive day trips then the kids themselves may be a little more content and more willing to try making some of the toys for themselves.

Oh yeah, that used to happen, I think it was called using your imagination -;)

Good for you. better than any computer game

-- No one plans to fail, they just, just fail to plan
