Boomer Banter, Real Talk about Aging Well

The Joy of One-on-One Time with Grandchildren: Wendy's Experience and Tips


Listen Later

On this episode of Hey, Boomer!, Wendy Green and Maddie are in Nashville for a special show, where they talk about being a mom and a grandmother, and traveling together. They also discuss Wendy's tradition of hosting "Camp Wey-Wey" with her grandchildren and taking them on individual trips between ages 10-14.

Wendy and Maddie visited Chincoteague Island, a natural resource preserve with wild ponies and beautiful egrets, for their grandparent/grandchild trip. They enjoyed a picnic, campfire, ice cream, and s'mores, along with learning about the wild ponies and the island habitat.

Wendy then segues into her thoughts on being a grandparent versus being a parent. She feels that being a grandparent is more about fun and being a role model, while being a parent is more about responsibility and teaching moral values.

Listeners will enjoy this episode for its mix of personal anecdotes, and tips for traveling with grandchildren.

Thanks so much for listening.
