The next generation’s next generation

Last week was Thanksgiving week, and we were happy to spend it with our grandson, daughter and son-in-law at his mother’s house.  The weather this weekend was amazing, with 70’s and cool clear skies, so we took a walk after the meal, taking turns walking with and carrying the little guy.  On Friday, they came over to spend the afternoon, so we took another walk, this time with his new shoes on, then went to see a local Christmas light display.
