Too bad the grandkids are too small to read and execute their assignments, and I’m pretty sure my daughter is not going to take the assignment of folding my clothes! But my son-in-law is going to be getting a lot of assignments from my daughter. And you can make a game out of it for the kids.

But our best trip was in 2012, when we funded a trip to Yellowstone with our two sons, their wives and our grandchildren. One of our son’s and his wife peeled out after touring Yellowstone, while our other son, wife and grandkids went with us to a few other destinations prior to heading home.
