Day Trips with the Grandkids -

I am always asking other peoples advice on what to do to keep my grandkids happy and busy when they visit - it's been quite a few years since mine were that age. So this trip we went to some tried and true destinations and even tried out some new places. Here's our itinerary in a nutshell - Good old Cowell Park -across the street from our house.














This park is in Danville - just a mile or so past the Danville Stake Center - it was big and lots of fun for the kids.












Super Franks - A friend told me about this place in Pleasanton and we went to check it out. I thought it was fabulous for kids 5 and under - 3 huge rooms with every possible thing for kids to play with and run around with.


















The cars were my favorite.

The Lindsay Wildlife Museum - the kids loved the animals and the play room there.






















The Exploratorium - kept the kids happy and busy all day.


























We had a great time. Being a Grandma is the best job in the world!

Hi Faye,
This is a great post. I too am always wondering what we should do when the grandkids do come here. We have Chris and his family coming for a few days on the 15th. They range in age from 9 (going on 25) to 18 months and there are four of them. Always a challenge but lot of fun.

Looks like your G-kids had a ball!
