That sounds like such a fun idea and is a perfect example that almost anything can be made more fun with a little imagination. Thanks so much for sharing. Sara

We did a driving day trip with our 3 oldest grandkids – ages 8, 6 and 4 – a “Guess Where Adventure” with Grandma and Grandpa. We had 6 envelopes with a cute graphic and numbered 1-6 with a picture inside (but not too obvious) of what we were doing next. Each child got to take turns and opened 2 clues each and they all had fun guessing where. We ended up 1.5 hours from our residence in southern Alberta and did stops along the way. A bonus stop on the way home was at a playground we passed on the drive up that wasn’t in the clues. It was a lot of fun!

I’ve considered this same phenomenon. I loved my grandparents IMMENSELY!!!! More than any other people in the world!! Yet, thinking back they did not play with me/us grandchildren. They worked hard to love and serve – they loved God and I knew it by now they studied His word and worked to live it. I washed dishes beside Grandma, she taught me to crochet. I rode horses to fix fences around the farm with Grandpa and listened closely to his stories. Grandma did play games sometimes while we traveled – to avoid boredom. That was fun! And I’ll never forget my other Grandma colored with me once. The stories she told and the love she also had for Jesus and Jerusalem, etc, infused into my heart! Hope I can remember that everything I do and am affects these little ones. 💕

What great memories you have! What I notice is that it was the time spent with your grandparents, doing what they did, and them sharing their time and values with you. Thank you so much for sharing–I loved reading about your grandparents. Sara

I love them dearly, but wonder if they will remember me the way I remember my grandparents. One set had 26 grands and the other 7. Between them, they had 14 children of their own. They were dirt farmers. We kids never doubted their love for us. They were always happy to see us. They did not play with us. They taught us fun games we used to entertain ourselves; they scolded us and we learned appropriate behavior; I was subjected to a grandfathers wrath when caught playing with matches and I learned respect for another’s property. We gardened and picked cotton alongside them and learned the importance of helping others and participating in family responsibilities. I would pick wildflowers for one grandmother and I learned the importance of the smallest gift as I watched her lovingly place them in a vase. I learned to sing from a hymnbook and repeat the Apostles Creed by sitting with one grandmother at church and following her lead. One grandmother would cook our favorite foods – the other taught us to eat what was put in front of us not complain. And – one grandfather taught us how to roll cigarettes!! I could go on and on. I think of them almost every day. No conversation among cousins fails to mention Grandma and Papa. Yet – they did not PLAY with us!!!! Go figure.
