Proud to be a Grandparent (or Grandchild)!

Ranked #9,505 in Parenting & Kids, #340,743 overall

There's nothing like a grandchild...

to brighten your day and keep you going. They need grandparents and we need them, too! If you ever had doubts, or you ever thought you didn't want grandchildren, you probably changed your mind the first time you looked into those little eyes, which were looking back at you with total awe and flawless love.

If you're a grandchild, you know how much you value the love, encouragement and guidance of your grandparents. Mom and Dad are great, but grandparents are just plain cool!

This lens is all about bragging, sharing and having fun. So, bring it on!

    I'll start us out! Growing up, there was nothing as great as a relaxing evening on the front porch with my grandparents, "swinging" in the glider chairs or bench. I loved spending my summers at Grandmother's house! What's your favorite memory?
