How often does a child get to talk about having fun with their great grandparents? My children are blessed to have 2 sets that love and adore them. When we were in CA (March), we got to see my dad's parents. If Dallin had his way, he would be living there to play with great-grandpa. When I talk to him on the phone, Dallin always tells me he has a dream (made up story) he needs to tell great-grandpa. Kailee always tells me that Great Grandpa gives her hugs. I love that she remembers that and Dallin wants to tell him stories.
My mom's parents live in Reno and came out to see one of my cousins graduate from high school. This evening we all got together for dinner. The kids talked about Nani Jo and Papa the entire day. When we finally got ready to go, Dallin said "FINALLY!" When we got there, the first person he hugged was Papa. Since Dallin was born, these 2 have had a special bond. Papa actually calls him Anthony (D's middle name) because he likes it better. Kailee didn't want to eat unless she got to sit on Papa's lap. My children are so blessed to have such loving grandparents and great grandparents. These are the kind of pictures that I will always cherish. Thank goodness for blogs to help us keep the memories!

Way cute pictures. Those are the pictures that always are cherished forever. How lucky that your kids have been able to spend time with them!
That is awesome! I never even knew my grandparents let alone my Great grandparents! Your kids are so lucky to have such a great family!
GRANDPARENTS are AWESOME!! They always want to go to their house...they don't want their mommie anymore (That's what I call FREAKIN SWEET!!) HA!! Their always there when we need them!! ;) You look AWESOME GIRLY!!!
Soooo Cute!!!! It's so nice to see pics of Nani and Papa! I miss them so much. I can't believe how long it's been since we've all seen each other. Cute little "Mini Me's".
My kids never had the opportunity to meet their great-grands. But I LOVED my "Gramps". He was so funny and adorded his great-grandkids.
How NEAT! My kids have both sets of Great Grandparents alive on my side and one Great Grandma on my husband's side! Unfortunately, we do see much of any of them! So, that's great that your kids know them!!!! What a blessing in their lives!
I completely agree...your kids are so lucky to know their great-grandparents. SJ has been able to know 6 of hers (although one died when she was only about 1). I'm so glad for my kids to have memories of people who have made such a big impact on my life...and for yours too!
That is so sweet.
