"Grapa" Johnson

Landon & Carter LOVE their Gampa Johnson. Every time he sees them he'll hold them on his knees and sing songs to them, all the while bouncing them, and making them laugh. It's the cutest thing to watch.

We took the boys over to visit him one day while he was working in his classroom at Orem High. The boys had just received balloons from Big-O Tires and were excited to show them to him. Uncle Greg met us there and we talked while they played with Grapa.

In Grapa's classroom he has a big black chair at the front of the room, that he'll sit in sometimes while he's teaching. He of course also has a podium too. The boys pulled Grapa over into the chair and sat on his knees and he sang to them and bounced them, and they laughed and laughed.

He also has a stuffed Tiger. Landon was standing by him, and he pulled it out and started making the growling noises that tigers make. Landon was staring at it and all was well, until... Grapa quickly moved it towards him. It was over at that moment. He jumped so high, and started crying. He jumped out of Grapa's arms and ran over to his Daddy. We all laughed pretty hard. It was quite comical. Poor Landon!

Thanks Grapa for letting us come to your classroom and visit, hopefully we'll do it more during the next school year. We love you!!
