I really doubt if they'd come for their entire summer vacation......although the option is there.

Children are a great JOY and enrich all of our lives. Watching them grow from infancy through childhood and marveling at their intelligence and kindness is a "gift" to grandparents. If one enjoyed their own children, which we did, then they should enjoy their grandchildren even more so.

When they were all babies, pre school, etc. they came to visit us much more often as they had no other responsibilities......however, as everyone knows.....once they begin school, sports, extracurricular lessons, church activities, etc. and not to even mention all their friends' birthday parties, summer camps, etc............they really don't come "home" that much any more......once they become teenagers with part time jobs and even more "activities".....then college.......it would be a rare visit, for sure.

No one should really worry about visiting grandchildren.....just enjoy them.

They keep you young at heart.
