This month my Grandpa Batt turned 84. To celebrate we headed up to Duck Creek for a little reunion with him my Aunt Kathy, her kids and all Grandpas great grand kids. Growing up I have been very privileged to know and have relationships with all my grandparents whom are all still alive with the exception of my Grandma Batt who passed away last fall. I even had the chance to know my great grandparents. My last great-grandma who we called Grandma Grape passed away a few years ago. Jaden was her very first Great Great Grandchild and the little town she lived in published in the local newspaper that she has become a great, great grandma when Jaden was born.
I have lots and lots of fond memories with each of my grandparents and great grandparents and I was really excited to meet grandpa at the cabin and let my kids build some memories with him. Although my kids were more excited about:
Riding dirt bikes and 4-wheelers
Taking walks
Shooting bow and arrows
Playing the Wii
Playing games with cousins
Exploring outdoors
Yummy dutch oven cooking
and eating lots of candy
I am glad they had the chance to get to know their Great Grandpa Batt a little better.

I commented on your list of things that would make life sweeter...what a great post!
I'm glad you posted about this! We are going up there this weekend with Bobby's family. Seeing your pics got me so excited to go. I may be posting a similar blog next week. I guess Duck Creek is a popular little place to escape the HEAT!!! BTW..loved the picture of Grandpa with bows in his hair. :)
Your family is so fun!! My poor kids, their mom is so boring. I really need to be better at that. How fun for them to get to spend the weekend with their cousins. The shark reef looked pretty cool too, I will have to make the effort to take them there. Great post!
