Grandmas and Guns

Lots of people go on trips over the course of the summer. Many families are represented on these vacations by three generations. We're still in the planning stages for this coming summer, but we've been reflecting on the benefits of these trips. Of course, with our book, The Joyous Gift of Grandparenting, we have the interests of the grandchildren foremost in mind.

But as we looked over the pictures from last summer's vacation, we couldn't help notice the glee in our mom's eyes as she "manned" the gunner's position on the USS North Caroline. Take a look below and judge for yourself.

So, it's important to bring family generations together, and summer vacations are great times to do it. While the grandchildren benefit greatly from this, the grandparents can have a grand time, too!
