Two boys visit for Thanksgiving:

There’s nothing as heartwarming as watching my lively toddler great-grandsons explore the wonders of their grandparents’ farm during Thanksgiving week! They dash from one adventure to the next.

First, they squeal with delight while feeding the animals, their laughter mingling with the sounds of the pet dogs following them. Then, the thrill amps up as they climb aboard the tractor, wide-eyed and beaming, grasping the steering wheel like mini farmers in training, ready to take on the world!

Soon, it is lunchtime:

After a hearty lunch filled with delicious home-cooked favorites, the real fun begins!

Paper and crayons come alive as they dive into a colorful whirlwind of creativity.

They build towering Lego castles, their imaginations running wild with stories of dinosaurs and dragons.

Squiggly pictures emerge from their drawings, each one more colorful.
Every moment is a delightful celebration of childhood wonderment, and I can’t help but soak it all in!
