Hunting With Grandpa

A boy grows up to be 

a man....

a man to be proud of...

a man of strength and dignity ~

like his father and his father before him...

each man has different

trials and tribulations

but, each man

strives for the same thing...

to carry out the tradition

and make his grandfather proud!

 What better

time or place

 to learn the lessons

than on a hunt with 

the masters,

the legends,

the dads,the uncles,

 and the grandfathers....

This year our friend's grandson, Hank,

watched the hunt from the truck

and tagged along with the hunting party.

With his toy shotgun,

he tagged along beside his 

parents, uncle and aunt,

and Grandpa...

an annual event for this hunting family.

Mom and Dad took turns watching

 the baby in the suburban...

while the other walked a field....

and lucky little Hank 

could hang out with Grandpa....

Hunting with Grandpa is a special time!

A Boy Needs A Grandpa

Author: Unknown

A boy needs a Grandpa...

For man-to-man talks,

To go hand in hand

On Conpanionable walks,

To fix up his toys

When they no longer go,

To tell him the things

Little boys want to know.

A boy needs a Grandpa...

To show him the way

To handle a puppy, 

To teach him fair play.

To impart bits of wisdom

He's learned through the years,

That it's no disgrace

For a man to shed tears.

A boy needs a Grandpa...

To sit on his lap

And if no one is loooking,

They take a wee nap,

Each wrapped in an aura

Of love and esteem,

Each smiling gently

At some special dream.

Happy Hunting!
