My "Pap"

Tonight, while Austin was working on his truck, Camden and I went to Nan and Paps for dinner. Before leaving home, Camden was a bit fussy as he was getting hungry and tired. However, when I told him that we were going to eat with Pap he smiled and rushed to put on his boots so that we could get in the car and go see Pap.

The moment we pulled in the drive, he was looking for Pap. We got out of the car and he headed towards Paps shop across the street as he was sure Pap would be in there. I was able to coax him to the back door of the house and I couldn't seem to get him to go inside to find Pap. He started looking towards the sheep pasture hunting for Pap. Finally, Pap popped out of the back door and Camden runs with his arms wide open yelling "Paaaap!" He loves his Pap, you see. Anytime Pap is around, he follows him around like his shadow. After we ate dinner, Camden and Pap fed the sheep and then headed across to the street to Pap's new shop. Pap was working on hanging tin on the walls and Camden puttered around playing with Pap's tools.

After keeping an eye on Pap and Camden, Nana and I decided to go over and see what was going on. Camden was getting eaten up by the bugs (even though I drenched him in bug repellent) so we bribed Camden with ice cream to get him to come inside and bathe. Most of the time, an offer for ice cream will send Camden running to the house. Not tonight, he wasn't going anywhere without Pap. So, Pap and Camden came in and ate their ice cream together.

Camden loves Pap, and Pap loves Camden - they are best buds!
