Family Time

I don't have grandkids as I'm only 35..lol. We did have a family weekend though. Went hiking for 2 miles Saturday to the top of Bald Rock here in Alabama. Then we all saw the new batman movie. Was a pretty good weekend.

That is a awesome place to go and visit with the family, I use to go there all the time,..I do have a grandchild and we spent the day around the house but she is only 7 months so didn't go anywhere big..I did take her to the dq tho and we shared a wonderful strawberry sundae and she made a big mess and loved it...

I have two grandsons and a g-niece that is just like a granddaughter. I get to see the boys at least once a week (they live in another town) and babysit the girl during the week (most of the time). We do have a good time when any of them are here because i let them do things (paint and other crafts) that their parents refuses to let them do at home because of the mess.

Hi Bob - I have 5 grandchildren but don't get to see 3 because they moved out of state. The other 2 (3 & 5) have been with me since Friday last week and will God willing be here for at least a few months. Exhausting for me but sooooo much better for them.
I love the zoo and actually took these 2 grandchildren to zoo in Lansing last summer but afriad I won't be able to afford it this year gas prices the way they are and not working much at all last few months.
This photo isn't one of my best but one I took last year of my favorite animal - a tiger.

That all sounds like alot of fun. Two of my grandsons were here for the weekend. They stayed from Thursday until Sunday. We didn't do anything special. Their dad lives here too so they don't just come to see me, they come to see all of us. I went out of town with my mom on Saturday, we went to some flea markets down by Cincinnati, lone day and long drive. We had a nice time and its quality time spent with my mom. Tomorrow we are planning on going to the county fair, my DIL and her two kids will be going. Its supposed to be cooler, I just hope we don't get rain. Its nice that you had a good time, the time spent with the grandkids is always precious.

I have 2 grown sons neither are married. One is getting Married in October. I was beginning to feel like I was never going to get any grandchildren.
I have a friend that I have known sence about the 3rd grade.
She has a grand-daughter and her greand-daughter and I adopted each. So Now I have a grand-daughter! I am also the local Ice Cream Vendor in town. So I get to treat my little Grand-daughter to ice cream when I am on her street! It is awesome!

Nope, no grandchildren, still working on possibly having children if I ever do get married. lol But I do have a sweet, precious, adorable baby niece who I'll be babysitting next weekend. This weekend I hung out with friends at a wine festival.
Glad you all had fun at the zoo!

The boys hyad a blast too. I love como zoo and would have loved to have gone but I had to go see Star Wars crap lol.

hi grandpa bob nope I stayed in all weekend, still'battling
the dumb shingles and it was hot here besides, had fanblowing on me all day and was mylotting all the time too. really a boring day but I dont get bored on mylot ever too many things always
going on here. I wish I did have grandkids but my son is a confirmed bachelor so thats that. I love going to the zoo and one daywhen I am over the shingles I just may do that. lol.

Sounds like you all had a great time. I remember my kids going with their grandparents to the science museum and such, when they were very young. They always had a blast. I always enjoyed taking them to the zoo and, all the science places we have around here.
I have no grandchildren, yet, and, may never but, that is fine. I would rather my kids not have babies, if they are not ready or, don't want them. My daughter is dating a young man who has a daughter that I adore, though. He asked me just today what "Granny" name I wanted his daughter to call me. I thought that was really sweet that he would consider me one of her grandmothers.
Anyway.....sorry, I got a little off subject there. I was just a teeny weeny bit jealous reading all the grandparents' posts here.*S*
