Grandparents Day was made official by Jimmy Carter in 1978, and it was proclaimed that National Grandparents Day would be celebrated annually on the first Sunday after Labor Day.
I personally never celebrated Grandparents day growing up, but now that I have a baby, and my own parents are grandparents, it seems fitting to celebrate the important role they are in her life.
Here are just a few simple ideas to celebrate:- Visit them, of course! Let them play and enjoy their grandchildren.
- Have your children color them a picture, or write them a letter if they are able.
- Video your grandparents talking about their lives.
- Send new photos of their grandchildren to them.
- Visit the Escondido Children's Museum where Grandparents get half off admission this week.
Who: Everyone - bring your grandparents for a great day of fun and exercise!
