Do you remember that old expression about the difference between men and boys? It goes something like , “The only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.”
I have more photographic proof of it. We swung by my Grandpa’s house at the tail end of our vacation. He has as many toys as the boys have, it’s just that his are bigger and make more noise. He hauls out all of the riding toys whenever Woody and Tigger arrive. They are thrilled to be driving and riding the big boy toys. They raced around Grandpa’s place on the riding lawn mower (with trailer) and the scooter.
When they were done Tigger said, “Grandpa, next time you need to come to our house, so you can play with our toys!”
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear that Tigger’s new favorite buddy is my 86-year-old grandfather. I guess it proves another old expression…”Friendship knows no bounds.”
what a beautiful picture that tells such a wonderful story!!
I am positive that you will cherish that picture for years to come. How great is that?
It is so great that they have a grandfather who loves to spend time with them like that! That’s the one thing I wish my boys could have.
Technically, my Grandpa is the boys’ great-grandfather. But YES! It is wonderful they have him, as well as my father, to play with and dote on them. I’m not sure who has more fun when they get together. I am so thankful that we have those relationships.
So, so true! Love the photo too [smile].
