TIME WITH GRANDPA
Ben jumped from bed as soon as the first bit of sun peeped through his
window. He grabbed his bag from his shelf and opened it on the floor.
Ben put in some of his favourite things to take with him on his trip to visit
Grandpa. He put in a book on building forts, a book on making go-carts
and a new book he had taken from the library about a kid detective who
creates his own spy gear. He also put in a model car kit and his stuffed
bear. He was ready to go! Going to visit his grandfather for a week was
always Ben's favourite part of summer vacation. Grandpa would take
him fishing and to baseball games. Grandpa also taught Ben how to fix
things around the house. Last year, when he was eight-years-old, Ben
had learned how to replace a broken doorknob and how to fix a leaky tap.
Grandpa was patient and did not mind taking many hours to show Ben
how to use his tools. Ben's mom came to his bedroom door. 'Grandpa's
here,' she said with a smile. Ben grabbed his backpack and ran into the
kitchen where Grandpa was waiting. 'Ready, big guy?' asked Grandpa.
'Or do you want to eat breakfast before we leave?' 'Ready,' said Ben. As
he kissed his mother good-bye, he felt his stomach rumble. 'We can eat
later!'
