You're doing more than making memories (as the current saying goes); you're helping to raise grounded kids who will grow into grounded adults who will know how to live well on this planet. My own teaching background equipped me to tutor/teach my 3rd grade grandchild during Covid when the schools were closed. I also drive them to their sports practices and games when called on. The 5-year old calls me the grandma with all the puzzles so she likes to come over to do that and build Lincoln Log barns for the horses. She likes the pony rides too at the local state parks.
My wife teaches them about birds and critters. I teach them where food comes from. Yesterday, little Sam helped me pull the garlic crop.
