As children, we can't wait to grow up and become adults. As adults, we look forward to getting married and having children. Then the cycle continues into grandparenting, one of the most wonderful times of all.
Once our own children are grown and have flown the nest, we find that we have more time on our hands. Time to write blogs, indulge in our hobbies, learn new things. We have time to spend with our grandchildren, teaching them new things and participating in the joy of watching them make new discoveries. We also have the opportunity to rediscover our childhood while playing with our grandchildren.
There is joy in playing "Candyland" with a 3-year-old, making snow angels in the front yard and building a snowman. Playing with a grandchild can be energy-draining, but it can also be exciting. 
"And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof." (Zechariah 8:5) Children (and grandchildren) are held in high esteem in the eyes of the Lord. We are tasked with their care and learning and ensuring that they know about their Heavenly Father.

We may teach our grand kids a few things, but they teach us a lot. Maybe more.
By the way, which one is the kid? The one in the red or the one in the pink?
Uhm, I think both were kids at the time! :)
Love this post. I'm just beginning to fully understand what you mean, but I know I will see it more and more as the days go by.
Did the one in red manage to get up OK? Very cute pics.
