MY PEEPS

MY PEEPS

These are my grandsons, Rowan and Ryder Rowan is 10. Ryder is 5. They are both good lads. Very bight, very upbeat. They have their own pool and swim like fishes. Their folks, my son Dan and his wife Melissa, moved them here a little over a year ago now. They live on a street, about 5 block from us, that is pretty much wall to wall families, and so they always have other kids to play with. And everybody looks out for everybody here, so the kids can roam around like when most of us were kids. I love these guys and am glad that I have now progressed to the point where I will be able to come and swim with them in their pool as soon as the summer comes.
