The grandpa machine was started by my Grandpa and continued by my dad, who did it with all of his grandchildren. It is a hit with the grandchildren, and a wonderful tradition!
Grandpa lays on the floor. The child stands with a foot by each of Grandpa's ear and Grandpa lifts them by the waist and flips them over to land on his lower legs, near his feet. |
Sometimes the machine breaks with the child in midair. There is always a lot of giggling and pleading and begging when the machine breaks.
This is my favorite picture taken this year so far, I think. I LOVE this picture! |
I think Grandpa Gabe would be happy to know that the Grandpa Machine lives on!!
