Rich's Pink Pig tradition

 We rode the Pink Pig......this week....in Atlanta at Macy's...it will always be  Rich's Pink Pig to me, but now it is at Macy's...go figure...

If you've never heard of the pink pig, you are in for a treat...and if you have ridden it as a child...ENJOY!!

I rode it as a child, my children rode it as children, and now my grandchildren are riding it too.....these kinds of traditions are worth keeping..the good, clean, fun kind......Merry Christmas.....

so excited

the OLD pig

it is quite PINK!!

sorry about the turning in the video....I could blame it on having 3 little boys close by but that wouldn't be the truth..it had something to do with the photographer not knowing what she was doing..LOL

the tickets are a big deal

Marshall's first ride

the beloved stickers...

proof that we were here..

thank you for stopping by this morning...I hope you enjoyed our little adventure...the boys surely did..and so did we.....come again soon...

My cup runs over.....

Grandchildren are the crowning glory of the aged;

I am so thankful for the blessing of grandchildren...these little lives..this daughter and son in law that pour their lives into making these little boys into great men..

I am thankful that they have developed a love of learning already at their young age..and their love of books and reading make this grandmother happy......I stressed the importance of reading at a very young age with my own children and they are amazing readers....and lovers of learning.....now, it brings me great joy to see the next generation embracing this too..  we recently spent the morning at our local library where we have a really good children's librarian and a good story hour....I only got a few pictures but I think you can see how much they were enjoying it.  I am proud of Betsy for making the effort to get them reading and loving books at an early age.....it will help them go far in this life....

It was a fun morning and I am thankful that I get to share in some of the day to day things that my grandsons do.....after all, it's the little things that mean the most......Thank you Betsy for making the huge effort to come and spend the night with us...we love every minute of your visits...

thank you for stopping by this morning......come again soon....

strawberry fields forever.....birthing traditions..

Every spring my daughter and I go strawberry picking..it seems like every year or so , we add another little boy to the outing.....I love digital photos because they are so easy to sort through on the computer..here is what I found this morning....traditions are made just one thing at a time and before you know it ..it has become a tradition...I think that traditions are important..they give history to a family and something to make a memory and to pass it on to the next generation...
so, I thought I would show you how to get from this

to this

in about 4 years time...enjoy our trips to the strawberry farm..

 Here is Will from the time we started going until this year....

this is Mac's first trip..in the backpack...

and this year..he is loving the strawberries..

and we added another one this year...Marshall and well, you can see by the picture..he had fun....

so another family tradition is made... me, my daughter and three little boys..some buckets and some strawberries and a LOT of fun....a good time was had by all...

I am so glad you came along with us to pick strawberries...thank you for reading ...until next time...make your day a good one..
