Took the 7 mo. Old and 2-1/2 y/o grandsons RVing this weekend. I beat!

Whipped mine and the wife's butt. We're in our early 60s. The RV need to be pressure washed inside for all the food slime everywhere. Would I do it again, yeah with a few months break.

Heh heh. We're renting an RV for an upcoming annual weekend family trip with our little ones. It's never been too messy in years past, but Mrs Noah insists we kennel the dog for our trip as she (the dog) jumped through a couple window screens the one time we took her.

2 year old kid is on a pretty fast idle, while they are conscious anyway. Wait until they get big enough to run faster than you.

I'm 41 and my 1.5-year-old wears me out in the few hours of every day I get to spend with him. I have no idea how my wife handles him for the rest of the day.

Good on you Hugh for taking the grandkids on. Having grandparents around and active in their lives will be a huge contributor to who they become as adults.

HA!

I have an 8mo and 2y/o. We don't get to give them back.

They're great boys and I wouldn't have them any other way.

Keep it up G-Pa!

I know the feeling Hugh! Like BlueSky I am also an "older" father having a 4.5y/o and a 2.5y/o at the ripe old age of 44. At idle my two generate enough energy to run a small city, and having them at idle is an event worthy of declaring a public holiday! Love them to bits, but they do give you a workout!
