Grandparent’s Day is September 8th and the best way to celebrate is to spend it outdoors.
The Glen Ellyn Park District is hosting a Grandparent’s Day celebration which involves getting your hands dirty, becoming one with nature.
Grandma and Grandpa can join their grandchildren at Ackerman Park from 1 – 2 p.m. on Sunday, September 8th near the trailhead into the woods along the park entrance road.
Make sure to bring your shovel and work gloves, because Granny, you are planting a tree! Small Oak Trees will be provided to guests to plant. There is no need to pre-register for this free event.
What an incredible way to celebrate Grandparent’s Day!
I remember being a child planting a tree in front of our home with my parents. Now, almost 30 years later, I still travel back to the ‘old house’ to see how big the tree is.
I imagine your children will visit the tree for many years to come and look back on the memories they had with their grandparents planting it on a very special day.
