[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you going? 
My parents town is like this and they stay inside most of the day. When I roll into town, I put all the breakables on a high shelf and make sure there is  no obvious danger (asked my dad where he keeps his gun). Then we get up and say, today the kids and I are going for a walk, we'll come home and color/do a puzzle, watch tv and go get ice cream after dinner. Tomorrow I'm taking them to the zoo. Would you like to join us? Then just do you and let the parents do what they do. Make it work or don't go. [/quote]

This. Basically, live a normal 3-year-old-based existence and your parents can join you or not, their choice. Rent a car so you can come and go as you please. Before you go, research local offerings and sketch out a plan for every day. Monday--trip to McDonalds or local breakfast joint for breakfast and coffee, then a trip to the library for story time and to check out a huge stack of books to bring back to your parents' house. Then a stop at the grocery store to stock up on kid friendly foods. Then home for lunch with your parents. Afternoon, a trip to a local park, then stop at Walmart for some bubbles, chalk, matchbox cars, a ball, finger paints and a bin to keep things in. Then back home for dinner and fingerprinting. Tuesday--back to the park after breakfast to play with chalk, bubbles, ball. Back home for lunch, then a trip to a matinee in the afternoon. Etc.[/quote]
