Grandpa's Shadow


   I love to take my boy out to the grandparents "farm" they have acres of wide open spaces to run and explore. I don't have to worry about them running in the road or getting hit by a car. It is so relaxing and is truly a different world sometimes. Tanner is my dads shadow. As soon as " Pa" gets home Tanner has to put on his boots and "go to work".  His favorite his helping take care of his horses. I don't know how my dad does it all with Tanners helping hands but they both seem to enjoy it. Tanner saw my dad mowing the lawn the other day and decided he had to do it too. My parents lawn I swear is two acres  or something and Tanner helped my dad for almost all of it. It was hilarious he refused to let his grandpa do it alone. My poor dads back and legs were probably killing when he was done. ( Tanner tends too slow things down a bit)  And my dad is 6'3"and Little tanner is well really short. It was funny watching them walk together.  Later my dad built a fire in the driveway for Blake so he could roast marshmellows and "go camping". I am so thankful for my dad and for the love and patience he shows with my boys. They adore him and love to be farmers with "Pa".
