Just thought I would share a few pictures of my Dad as a child in honor of his birthday.
Today he turned 62. Although, you would never know it. He still works like he is 25. Here he is showing all the grandkids how to work.
He has a few traditions the grandkids get to share with him.
#1 He shares his vitamins that he keeps in the freezer. They just happen to be packaged in a chocolate chip bag. The kids love this!!!
#2 He saves his wishbones for the the grandkids to grant their wishes. My dad used to be a butcher and he can't have a meal without a good hunk of meat. So there are always wishbones around.
#3 He loves to take the kids out to the barn to collect all the chicken eggs. And of course the grandkids love it too.
#4 Every Christmas we build GRAHAM cracker houses with Grandpa. But only to blow them up with firecrackers or shotguns, if there is a fire ban. What a great tradition! We have even resorted to using hot glue guns to put our houses together, because the strongest house wins!!!
These are all fun times we have with Grandpa. Thank you Dad for being such a wonderful example and strong support for me and my family. I love you!!!
We were able to celebrate Grandpa's birthday with him this year. So, here he is at the ripe young age of 62.
Notice cute little Max asleep on Grandpa's shoulder drooling like crazy.
Now that's a great Grandpa!
