[quote=Anonymous]When my DD was little, we did a few long weekend vacations with my grandparents, who were in their early 90s. What worked for us was a nice breakfast together, our nuclear family would head out for the day, we might meet up for lunch, then an early dinner together. If a nice dinner is too much for your kids--understandable after a long day of adventure--what about meeting in the late afternoon for ice cream? If possible, get a sitter one or more nights so the adults can have a nice dinner together. The other nights, maybe alternate with your spouse on who eats with the kids and who eats with grandma? If some of your adventures are things that would be enjoyable for her if she didn't have to walk, do get a wheelchair for her. Just watching her grandchildren have a great time can be enjoyable, and is probably why she wants to go.[/quote]
