Jo and I went to our third oldest grandchild Luke's school today to celebrate Grandparent's Day with him. He's in first grade this year and the program was awesome! Students k thru 5 provided a musical program themed on the USA that was terrific. It was obvious the music teacher was inspirational to the children as they belted out patriotic songs, waved flags, played musical instruments, performed the Virginia Reel, and provided readings from the early formers of our country. It was definitely more than just a cookies-and-cider kind of day (although they did provide those in the classrooms after the program).
Tomorrow we travel to see our other grandchildren in a different kind of performance. Our oldest grandson plays flag football in his youth league and our oldest granddaughter has a basketball game. The four hour round trip is a bit taxing, but the hugs from the little ones have a way of dispelling the weariness that travel brings. Mary H. Waldrip said, "Grandchildren are God's way of compensating us for growing old". Right on, Mary.
