97 year old grandfather holds first snake...
First off, happy father's day to all the dads out there.
I was fortunate enough to host 3 generations of Frechette fathers (my brother, father and grandfather) at my house today. I made a feast of stuffed peppers, chicken wings, lobsters, steamers, burgers, dogs, pasta salad, grilled corn on the cob and grilled asparagus.
On top of a great day with family, I was able to introduce my two year old niece and my 97 year old grandfather to snakes for the first time. My grandfather even held a snake for the first time in his life!!
All in all, it was an awesome day!!
I hope you all had a great day as well.
My brother, father and niece with Tyson the BP...
and my 97 year old grandfather holding Django the kingsnake...

Re: 97 year old grandfather holds first snake...
This is amazing, my grandparents are in a home now and my grandmother has pretty late stage dementia so its always a bittersweet visit. My grandfather seemed really excited about my snake when I showed them, so you've inspired me to maybe bring him with me next time and spice up our visit a little 😊👍

Great story, sounds like a awesomely great day for all!
Not too many WW II vets still around. You are quite fortunate to still have him and learn from him too!
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

That's a home run, brother. Congrats all the way around.
My grandfather is a WWII vet as well. Up until he was 90 a few years ago he would drive himself every winter from NE down here to Florida. They are the real deal.
