As a Grandparent our responsibilities, as far as entertaining children, aren't nearly as detailed as they are for Mom and Dad. But that said, We've are leaning on some cool sprinkler instead of a blow-up pool. Less clean-up for sure and our oldest grandchild has pretty much outgrown those 6' by 10' models. And a garage full of bicycles is out of the questions. (Frankly me and GMaw can't keep up) That said we'll be spending the weekend trying to come up with some ideas to keep costs down and smiles on their faces. We'll start with this list! - Matt Appleby
