Who said when you are over fifty and a grandparent of a 15 year old male, a 12 and 7 year old female that you have to act like a granny nanny? I really don't want to knit them things or bake pastries all day. So as long as I have been me, I have done just that...be me.
What do I do with three grandchildren? Well we have gone paddle boating, canoeing, hiking, fishing, and we even had a few water balloon fights. (My idea!) The main purpose is to entertain the kids and to have fun yourself. Just think of all the muscles you use after a few adventures. Oh yes, I have felt muscle aches and pains but it was worth every minute. I feel more energized these days. Also I am loosing some weight...good for the heart.
So don't waste your summer sitting and watching the kids get up and play with them, laugh with them and enjoy yourself.
