[quote=Anonymous]This was how our visits were for the first 2 years. Basically, my in laws were easily bored by the baby stage of life. They're very active adults and couldn't wait for our kids to have the patience/stamina for more activities, like going to museums, going for walks to the lake, etc. We had to really coach my mother in law on age-appropriate things she could do with our kids, like arts and crafts (water colors, beading, dance parties, children's museums instead of art museums, etc). But I totally understand that when you're used to a fast-paced adult life, the slow, start-and-stop of little kid life (with lots of snack and nap breaks) is kind of boring. I loved it when my kids were little, but also think they're much more fun now.

Now, my kids are 4 and 6 and just spent a weekend by themselves with the grandparents, who ran them all over the city to a museum, local beach, outdoor dance festival, airshow, playground, boat ride, etc. They all had a blast! My kids can be out (with snacks) for pretty much the whole day now. They don't need a whole backpack full of diapers or special baby-snacks.[/quote]
