For Easter this year, we took Cedric to our local park for a community Easter Egg hunt. Cedric's Grandpa escorted him from activity to activity and half-cheered, half-coached him through the "hunt." Grandpa is very special and much loved by my little man and its not hard to see why. Grandpa's house has a riding lawn mower and rabbits. (Thank you Grandpa for not bringing Cedric one for Easter!) But more than what Grandpa has, its what Grandpa does that has this boy smitten. Grandpa never hesitates to play or to show Cedric what's interesting and wonderful in the world around him. It touches something deep inside of me to see the boy I love so much being loved so well by someone as important to his life as his Grandpa. Here are a few pictures from the day.
I know its what you came here for...
"Hunting" for eggs. The ground was almost completely covered with eggs, but Cedric had an eye for the ones around a tree.
Getting his a face painted. Cedric kept turning his face to try and see what she was doing and Grandpa obligied by holding a mirror so Cedric could watch.
Sitting in front of "his waterfall" at the Botanical Gardens.
A happy boy riding on Grandpa's shoulders.
Awwwwww!
ReplyDeleteI love these images. They really give insight into the connection the two of them have. Is this your father? And... What is going on in the picture with the Easter basket tethered to the tree?? It has seriously peaked my curiosity.
ReplyDeleteWell Grandpa isn't writing, but he was pretty pleased to read about himself and his grandson. In response to Kassy, the tether isn't a tether at all. It is a string with a helium balloon connected to it. You just can't see the balloon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the pictures I've got a great grandson. Gramma
