I actually have lots but after my oldest had mental breakdown, drugs, tried to kill herself a few times, and actually blames me for all her illness neither my wife or I can even look at them. Hurts too much. For a normal family I'm sure it would be great.

 

That's tough baggage to carry Dave.
The memories are real but it's not your fault.

 

Thank you Jerry I know that. I can not change her perception. All I can do is store that part of my life in a drawer that I seldom open.

^6-22-2025. It's great when you have your Aunt working as zookeeper! This photo includes Claudia, their au pair from Poland. She's very outgoing. I talked to her a lot last week when I was over at their house.

 

Patty, those are great pictures of everyone at the zoo!

Is your younger grandson almost as big as his older brother? What is the age difference?

Thank you for sharing the pictures!

 

You're welcome, Sue. I thought they were great photos also! One of these days I'll have to go with them.

I think the younger grandson may pass up the older one in size. They are a year and 10 months apart in age. I'm shocked at how well the younger one talks, at 1 year and 10 months old.

 

As protective as they seem I'm really surprised they have an AuPair. Will ICE agents be showing up soon?

 

Nah she's white.

 

At Boldt Castle in NY. iPhone photo for the win. Rick couldn’t get exposure right with the camera. I had the same issue myself today. iPhones rarely do a bad job as a camera

 

You sure picked a hot time to travel.
