There's nothing like a rousing game of tag with your grandkids to work up a sweat, not to mention being a fun way how people over 50 can raise their metabolism and fight off the baby boomer calories that will NOT DIE. Plus being a delightful method of adding to your sweet family memories. That's my favorite kind of multi-tasking and definitely good news for all of us boomers and seniors!
Today, as we were playing tag, then taking breaks so we could breathe again, I was also enjoying the lovely shade and view of my grandkids' delightful old tree! It's so beautiful and such a haven for so many. The grandkids and this huffing and puffing granny nanny, of course. But also beautiful butterflies, bugs, not so beautiful slugs, spiders, and even an occasional Red Velvet Ant!
It also has cute little hidey holes perfect for a pretend fairy house full of cute dollhouse people. We even found a single red berry hiding in one little "fairy house." We're not sure if it would be a lovely lamp or a delightful snack but it was most fun to find it.
Then again, this is grandSONS I was playing with. Turns out they had different plans for those cute hidey holes. Army toys for kids, baby! 🙂
What fun ways to enjoy exercising and creative activities for grandparents and their grandchildren. And what sweet shots for Tuesday with my delightful and easy to use Canon Powershot a1100is digital camera. For more fun photos and some great photo tips for your own easy to use digital camera, be sure to check out Sweet Shot Tuesday.

Hi Kristen, Thank you 🙂 🙂 🙂 And I’m so sorry to hear about your sick little one. Praying for healing for the sick baby and the rest of you to stay healthy.
Hi Melinda, thank you 🙂 (Can you see me blush 😉 ). I’m not perfect – by a long shot! But I do have fun with them and they with me and together we keep learning more about our precious Lord!!! TOO COOL! 🙂 🙂 🙂

Sounds like loads of fun, except for the bugs! It sometimes amazes my son that he can actually have fun in the garden. After all there’s no computer, TV or video games out there so what’s the point! But when pushed, it’s fascinatig to see the games he comes up with using a few sticks and action figures!
Yup, Chloe. I push crafts or outside fun over TV most of the time and it’s well worth it. And when we are in watching TV, I strive for educational. Most days. I will admit to some days when this Sandwich Generation granny nanny is just plain tuckered or sick and then it’s anything goes (almost 🙂 ), but most of the time… Thanks for stopping by 🙂
