Grandpa's Eldercare activities

At Eldercare, they like to do social games and activities. Sometimes they do something craftsy. Grandpa plays gamely along but when he brings home the end result (for example, on Halloween: a mini-pumpkin decorated with pipecleaners stuck into it), he often has no idea what it is or why it is in his hands.

Then once inside the kitchen, he kept saying "Oh, what a nice place! I'm so glad to be back here!". Isaac said "Yeah, we missed you too, Grandpa!".
