Talk about being slightly out-of-sync...!
However, thank you for bringing in some serious suggestions to what started out as a joke thread.
Any time you can get your grandchildren outdoors, away from the electronics, is a good day. Fish pond, rifle range, archery range, are all good. My son took his daughter out one winter morning to sit at the top of a canyon, in the snow, with a thermos of hot chocolate to watch the sun rise and see what critters would show up. She saw deer, turkey, and javelina, and remembers that day fondly.
i took my kids out when it snowed and threw snow balls at illegal aliens
Incidents with my son and my father in his retirement:
* What is it like on the roof with your antennas? So they went up there. He was 3-4.
* The thing that makes the squiggly lines isn’t turning on, oh, it is broken. Can I see how you fix it? They took apart a micron oscilloscope and when he tried to talk about it, everyone thought he meant a kaleidoscope.
* “I want to see the animals like monkeys and Go Diego Go.” Impromptu trip to animal reserve. What did the kids remember? A rescued bobcat kitten sleeping with a house cat about as big as it.
