>>Sounds like Grandfather got a good present too. I always remember the look on my fathers face when one of my kids fell asleep while Dad was holding them.

>Yes, he is really taken with Travis [and Travis with him]. I forgot, we also made old fashioned homemade ice cream on their back porch. That was a big hit with the kids as well.

Was it using an electric cranker or was it really the old fashioned hand cranking? My father-in-law still uses the hand cranking. It usually takes two to make the ice cream. One to crank and the other to feed the salt around the ice.
