Just Grampy and Me

Right before we left for our trip, we had talked to Grammy and Grampy on the phone. Grampy said that he was going to "kidnap Tyler for the week". I thought "yeah right". Boy was I wrong! From the minute we arrived in Bloomington, to the minute we left, Tyler spent all his time with Grammy and Grampy. Because Grammy was not as mobile this trip, Grampy was happy to take Tyler out and spend some time bonding.

One of their favorite activities? Walking along the golf course and stuffing their pockets with balls! Tyler loved their daily scavenger hunt and quickly caught on to the hot spots to look for the balls in! One day, I joined them. As we walked along the street, a set of golfers were looking by the trees for a ball. After awhile they left, without the ball. We continued on with our walk. Guess what Tyler found? That's right, their golf ball!

Grampy made the suggestion that we should take the ball back to the gentleman who lost it. Tyler waited ever so patiently for them to finish the hole, ran up, and handed the man his ball. Guess what he got in return? Fifty cents! He was ecstatic! I got to thinking... if Tyler stays out there all summer long and returns balls to all the golfers, maybe we can fund college in many years?

Another favorite activity of Tyler's is walking with Grampy and Duffy. He loves to help walk the dog and goes out in his jammies, without his teeth brushed, and even in the rain. He loves it!
