Well, the grand kids all think Grandpa Mike is pretty funny!  I wonder why?  They love him like crazy.  He would do just about anything for them including eating the insides of a pumpkin!  He decided Lucy's fleece would help keep his head warm at the park.  We watched the girls while their parents went skiing!  After a quick trip to the mall we headed for the park.

When I look at these pictures I think about how much joy children feel at the everyday things in life!  They just run and play with huge smiles on their faces. We could learn a lot from the heart of a child.

Pull ups!  They are hard.  Mike got this far but I didn't even get that close and I lift weights a couple times a week!

My feet are actually off the ground even thought it doesn't look like it.  I think my new goal is to do one pull up!

 Layne sailed across these bars over and over!

 The serious look!

 Here we are again! JOY!  Running to the swings!

 I decided to join in.  I like to swing.

 Lucy got a push or two from Grandpa Mike

 Still sporting the fleece.  What a good grandpa!

After we got home Lucy took a nap and Layne and Grandpa had some batting practice.  Keep your eye on the ball Layne!

 Great stance!

We had such a fun relaxing day.  Two precious little gifts from God.
