and they can see and talk with you. Pretty neat. All you need is a wireless connection or a 4G device. We got the girls the basic iPod Touch so they must have an Internet connection available to them in order to use Face Time. After we purchased our iPad we were able to Face Time with them. When we went on vacation to Barbados this past Fall, we had a wireless Internet connection in the condo where we stayed and could dial their number and see and talk with them without cost to us. Really neat! We even were able to point our iPad towards the Caribbean Sea from our second floor balcony and let the girls as well as our daughter see the color of the water and the beautiful beach. Unbelievably neat! After we returned we were visiting with our grandson who is 6 and told him we weregoing to Face Time the girls and talk to them. He found it so amazing and now he has asked Santa for an iPod so he can keep in touch with his cousins. If only I had this technology when I was a child. The transistor radio was about as technologically advanced as I was able to be. Well, I hope Santa got Caden's message and will be able to leave an iPod Touch at our house this year for him. I'm sure the girls will have so much fun showing him how to use Face Time so they can talk and visit with each other whenever they want to. And, when Carol and I take out next trip we will be able to show Caden the same things that we showed the girls on our last vacation. Oh, I'm sure Santa got the message!! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.

The "Face Timing the Grandkids" Story
It was an ordinary day. Waiting for Christmas to arrive. Last year Santa visited our house and left a pair of handheld iPod Touch for our two granddaughters ages 9 and 7. They loved them and now have their favorite songs and games on them. They also have the capability to Face Time with others that have iPods. Face Time is a free application that allows you to communicate with others who have iPhones or iPods. You dial the other person and are able to talk to them and see them and they can see and talk with you. Pretty neat. All you need is a wireless connection or a 4G device. We got the girls the basic iPod Touch so they must have an Internet connection available to them in order to use Face Time. After we purchased our iPad we were able to Face Time with them.
