I am one grandpa that walks at least 2-miles per day.
So for the last 4-days in have had two of my older grandchildren staying at my house. When I tried to get them out with me they are to connected to their I-POD's, computers, internet and ability to watch some TV, that mom and dad restrict at their house to come along and take a walk with grandpa and the dog.
Worry less about grandpa's and grandma's and more about this young generation that is part of a wired society that finds less time outside, truly understanding this world and smelling some roses.

All of my grandparents are dead. They never walked. Gone by the age of 70, too.
