September Tradition - Celebrating Grandparents

This month(September) we will celebrate a wonderful family holidy. National Grandparents Day. Celebrated on the first Sunday after Labor Day, the holiday was created to remind grandchildgren to tap into the wisdom and heritage their grandparents provide. There are many fun activites that your children can do with their grandparents to celebrate the holdiday. One is to complete a grandparent interview with a variey of questions. What were your parents like? Describe your childhood? What were your goals and aspirations? What advice do you want to pass onto your children and grandchildren? This will give your child a chance to see how the world has changed since their grandparents were young, plus give your parents an opportunity to share stories. Capture this on video and you will have a priceless family keepsake that will be enjoyed for generations to come.
