Visiting Grandpa
Ben jumped out of the bed as soon as the first bit of sun peeped through his window. He grabbed his backpack from his closet and opened it on the
floor. Ben put in some of his favorite 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 borrowed 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 by himself was always Ben’s favorite 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 9 years old, Ben had learned how to replace a broken doorknob and how to fix a leaky faucet.
