They'll remember it forever. Your reward will be when they discuss it as adults. We just love those those grand kids, don't we?

Today we went to the Pensacola Naval Air Museum for about 3 hours, went to lunch, then made the 4 hour drive home. NOW, I need a vacation! Had a great time but I can't remember the last time I have been this tired. I admit I am getting a little too old to keep up with the kids.

that's why god gave us our kids when we were young!!!!!!!!!

That is why God in his infinite wisdom made young people the parents of small children. At least you could give them back.

With 6 of the grandkids yes, I give them back, but this one is mine. I've had custody of him since he was about 8 months old. But the friend I did give back.
