Well I had the grandsons over Sturday night and Sunday. We took them to the Como Park Zoo and COnservatory. This place is awesome. It is a zoo, a Conservatory with many different flowers etc from all over the worls. A butterfly room to walk among the various butterflies from all over the globe as well. A huge picnic area, an outdoor frog pond and park. A lot to visit and enjoy the sunny day. We all had a blast. Did you have a good family orientated weekend at all? Do you have grandkids at all? How many do you have? Here's the link to the zoo/park etc we went to. This is a photo we took in front of the Conservatory. It was a bright sunshiney day to say the least as you can tell from the glare in this photo.

I don't have grandkids as I'm only 35..lol. We did have a family weekend though. Went hiking for 2 miles Saturday to the top of Bald Rock here in Alabama. Then we all saw the new batman movie. Was a pretty good weekend.

happyIt would definitely make it harder for most places. You co do part of the trail we did though...I think anyway. It has a wheel chair accessible wooden bridge the whole way to the rocks. You could take your time and not get winded or anything.

I have two grandsons and a g-niece that is just like a granddaughter. I get to see the boys at least once a week (they live in another town) and babysit the girl during the week (most of the time). We do have a good time when any of them are here because i let them do things (paint and other crafts) that their parents refuses to let them do at home because of the mess.


myLot reputation of 96/100. webeishere (12987)   ranked 137 out of 26,909 in people  4 years ago

I see my grandsons when ever I get the chance. They spilt between their moms and dads alternate weekends since the divorce so I don't see them but every other week usually. Messes? That's what grandparents are for. I don't mind a mess now and then. As long as the mess stays off the furniture. HAHAHAHA!

I have tried over and over to explain to these parents the function of a grandparent but they can't seem to grasp the concept, so we wait until they are out of the way to have our fun!

Hi Bob - I have 5 grandchildren but don't get to see 3 because they moved out of state. The other 2 (3 & 5) have been with me since Friday last week and will God willing be here for at least a few months. Exhausting for me but sooooo much better for them.
I love the zoo and actually took these 2 grandchildren to zoo in Lansing last summer but afriad I won't be able to afford it this year gas prices the way they are and not working much at all last few months.
This photo isn't one of my best but one I took last year of my favorite animal - a tiger.

That all sounds like alot of fun. Two of my grandsons were here for the weekend. They stayed from Thursday until Sunday. We didn't do anything special. Their dad lives here too so they don't just come to see me, they come to see all of us. I went out of town with my mom on Saturday, we went to some flea markets down by Cincinnati, lone day and long drive. We had a nice time and its quality time spent with my mom. Tomorrow we are planning on going to the county fair, my DIL and her two kids will be going. Its supposed to be cooler, I just hope we don't get rain. Its nice that you had a good time, the time spent with the grandkids is always precious.

Sounds like you all had a great time. I remember my kids going with their grandparents to the science museum and such, when they were very young. They always had a blast. I always enjoyed taking them to the zoo and, all the science places we have around here.
I have no grandchildren, yet, and, may never but, that is fine. I would rather my kids not have babies, if they are not ready or, don't want them. My daughter is dating a young man who has a daughter that I adore, though. He asked me just today what "Granny" name I wanted his daughter to call me. I thought that was really sweet that he would consider me one of her grandmothers.
Anyway.....sorry, I got a little off subject there. I was just a teeny weeny bit jealous reading all the grandparents' posts here.*S*
