When planning activities to do this Memorial Day, it is also important to remember the meaning of this holiday, which is to honor those who lost their lives while serving in the military. So while stores may encourage shopping with all the sales and you are excited to get a day off from work, don’t forget to stop for a while and hold space for the purpose of the holiday. Since the family will enjoy some time away from work and school, it is a great opportunity to get everyone together with sound fun activities. Read on to learn more about the fun memorial day activities you can do with grandkids!
