Today I saw my two year old granddaughter, Evelyn, for the first time in a year.
Proud granddad that I am, I'm pleased to report that within a few minutes of meeting up with her at the Maui airport I could tell that her good looks, charm, and intelligence are going to qualify her for a terrific career as an ...
Airport baggage handler. Well, they get pretty good tips, so she could do worse in life.
But I think Evelyn would be willing to work for free, given how much fun she had pushing the cart around. She took off the lei we got her pretty quickly, while the cart stayed fun all the way back to the parking lot.
Grandfathers aren't reliable judges of their offspring's offspring's cuteness. Still, I think anyone rating Evelyn's adorability grade would issue an A+ -- at the least.
I was thrilled to be present at her first dip in the ocean. Here she is, with her dad, wondering how much bigger this "pool" is than the one she took swim lessons in last year.
She seemed to have a pretty good time. I'm hoping to get her on my boogie board tomorrow and teach her how to ride some big waves. Seems feasible; she picked up quite a bit of Tai Chi from my brief lesson today.
Of course, Kung Fu Panda is her favorite movie. So it isn't surprising that Evelyn is primed for great accomplishments in Chinese martial arts.
And, baggage handling.
She is adorable and what a great place to have a family time. She also has great taste in movies as I really liked Kung Fu Panda although I am a fan of many supposedly kid oriented films
