George H.W. Bush and Wife Barbara's 17 Grandchildren — Meet Them All

George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara were blessed with 17 grandchildren, thanks to their five children.

The couple’s five children are all successful in their chosen fields, but their greatest gift to their parents were their good-looking and promising children.

"So, I FaceTimed my parents, who were with him, and I said, 'Gampy, meet Poppy.' He was not expecting it..."

Plans had been made to make 12 of the grandchildren skydive at Texas A&M University in June 2019 but the parachuting event was canceled due to high winds, Texas A&M Today reported.

The activity was to cap a week of celebrations of what would have been President Bush’s 95th birthday on June 12 and the First Lady’s 94th birthday on June 8. It had been a tradition for the Bush family. The 41st president parachuted onto the grounds of the George H.W. Bush Presidential Center on three occasions.

The activity last June 2019 was the largest gathering of Bush family members at the center since President Bush was laid to rest on Dec. 6, 2018.

The late George H.W. Bush had tears of joy after learning that his granddaughter named her child after him.

“Poppy, my wild 3-year-old, was named after her great-grandpa, my grandfather," Jenna said in an interview with TODAY. "So, I FaceTimed my parents, who were with him, and I said, 'Gampy, meet Poppy.' He was not expecting it, so he cried.”

Jenna, who is married to Henry Hager, said the beloved former president was deeply touched.
