The moment he heard, “You get to pick the flowers,” he lit up like it was the best idea ever. “For my grandpa? Let’s go!!” In seconds, this excited 8-year-old was out the door, ready to take on the flower market like it was his own personal adventure.

He darted between stalls, pointing out bold colors, running his hands over soft petals, and making quick, confident choices. “This one’s cool!” “That one’s bright!” His face said it all — this wasn’t just fun, it meant something.

Then, on the ride back, we spotted Queen Anne’s lace blooming along the roadside. “Wait! That matches!” he said. We pulled over, picked a few, and added them to the bunch.

The result? A bouquet packed with color, texture, and meaning — full of movement, joy, and the kind of energy only a kid can bring.

Made with love, for one very proud grandpa.
