Great Times with Grandkids: Enjoying Mystery Trips & More

by Patricia D. Kennedy

Overview

The old adage tells us that “everyone loves a mystery”; we found that children love a mystery most of all. Anticipation for the trips was fueled by monthly clues given before the trips began and by daily clues each morning while traveling.
On the trips the, grandkids bonded not only with us, but with their cousins as well. The trips were self-planned and took place in Colorado and six other states. Guidelines follow the details of each trip.
The trips, the other unique activities, and the traditions we established over the years are fondly remembered by our grandchildren. A chapter is devoted to What the Kids Say.
This book is written by grandparents as a gift for other grandparents. We hope our stories, adventures, and guidelines will inspire others to enjoy the similar marvelous times with their own grandchildren.
Not a grandparent? Not a problem. The trips, activities and traditions described in this book can be planned and carried out by aunts, uncles, and parents, too.

About the Author

Throughout her adult life Pat Kennedy has been an advocate for children. The mother of three sons and a daughter was a primary teacher for 20 years. After retirement she founded a family literacy program for immigrant parents and their preschoolers.
As her children married and started having their own kids Pat began to realize that "grandchildren are the dessert of life". Every day she spent with them was a joy. In retirement, Pat and her husband, Jere, combined their love of travel, and of being with their six grandkids, to create these 14 wonderful mystery trips. These good times have validated Pat's observation that, indeed, "grandchildren are the dessert of life".
