Memorable Childhood

 

A Magical Childhood

My daughter-in-law takes my grandsons to magical places,

Most are educational and all put smiles on their faces,

Whether it’s a park, a farm, museum or arboretum,

Awesome natural environments she introduces to them,

Memorable childhood experiences are a priceless gift,

And she does it with considerable thrift,

Most programs and events they attend are presented for free,

And some require a minimal fee,

I have attended some of these adventures too,

Let me name just a few:

Train ride, apple-picking, pumpkin patch, hayride, cache hunting, hiking, petting zoo,

Honestly, I cannot name all the things that they do!

Story book trails, pony rides, Botanical gardens, ropes course, splash ground,

Unique places I didn’t knew existed, she has found,

One of the simplest places that provided “loads” of fun,

Was a pile of dirt, ton after ton,

In a park for kids to dig for fossils and rocks,

Right away my grandboys shed their shoes and socks,

Into the dirt pile they went, hands and feet,

Oh boy!  This was an awesome treat!

Getting dirty on purpose is always a joy,

Especially if you are a little boy,
