My husband and I always struggle with keeping the grand-kids busy, The Parents Handbook
has been a great resource. We refer our visiting guests to it all the time.

I keep it around the concierge desk as a reference, it has phone numbers and activities I need
at my fingertips and the guests really find it informative.
