Go to the ZOO

Tip # 15 Take your grandchildren to the zoo. We went to the zoo today, and it was great. The kids get to see animals that they wouldn't normally get to see, and it is a great learning opportunity for them. One word of warning go before it gets to hot, and be ready to walk a lot. Also, go prepared, bring drinks,and snacks, a change of clothes and don't forget your camera. If the kids are young bring a stroller. The zoo, a great place to take the grandchildren! Go and have Fun!!!

Grow a Garden

Tip # 14 Spring is in the air! Plant something with your grandchildren. Grow flowers or vegetables or both now that spring is here. Nothing feels better than planting something in the ground and watching it grow. If you have a brown thumb try growing radishes, they are practically idiot prove. Radishes sprout in a few days and will grow practically anywhere. Make sure that once you plant the garden together that you care for the garden together. Let the grand kids help water and teach them to pull weeds. It teaches them take responsibility for something living.

Celebrate Every Holiday

Tip# 13 Celebrate every holiday and occasion you can with your grandchildren. Today was St. Patrick's Day. So we dressed in green and wore green jewelry, drank green juice and ate a green cupcake.  Some years we eat green eggs and ham, and dance a jig. Children tend to mark the passing of a year by watching for holidays, so celebrate everyone of them, its fun!
