The Visits

My children went to visit my parents, Mimi and Gramps, recently.   My mother made sure each of their trips was packed with fun things to do.   When they returned she sent me a summary of all the things they did over the four days each of them spent with their grandparents.   Here's a list, so that someday when my children are older, they can look back and remember all the fun they had in the mountains with Mimi and Gramps during the summer of 2021 as written by my mother.
