Grandpa Adams-mules

My earliest memories of Grandpa were going with him to see the mules. I remember calling them "meals". I loved seeing them, and when I could give them a treat, it was awesome. I've been told by my parents that the reason we were always outside is that I apparently did not like Grandpa. Dad and Grandma tell me that when Grandpa would try to pick me up, or play with me, I would scream and try to get away from him. The only way he could get me to calm down was by visiting the mules. Grandma says it was like flipping a switch. As soon as we got outside, I would calm down and be happy. My mom told me that it really got to Grandpa because all kids (other than myself) loved him. I guess I grew out of it, because I remeber Grandpa being one of my favorite people as a child.
