They like to take drives. We live 10 mins from Waikiki so they go there to people watch and watch the sunset. They go to the beach a lot and fish. Don't really do tourist things unless someone else comes along.

We do that when we visit them too. Eat and sleep. And if we go on vacation together, we eat and sleep. We're lazy pigs apparently. lol!! Oh and they go grocery shopping when they're down here. Supposedly, it's cheaper here and we have things they don't have there. My dad's really handy so if we need to fix something, he's all over it!

Sometimes my dad helps DH with something.

My mom also seems to do her laundry every day. Why, I have no idea. And she goes to the mall. My FIL is usually helpful when he visits. He likes to tackle home projects with DH. pui on "What do your parents usually do when they visit?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-parents-usually-do-when-they-visit#post-1455556 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:17:02 +0000 pui 1455556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They don't visit that often so we usually try and entertain them by taking them out to dinner or something.

My mom likes to turn visits into mini smart phone/internet lessons. They both play with the kids and feed them. My ILs play with the kids and watch TV. mrs.shinerbock on "What do your parents usually do when they visit?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-parents-usually-do-when-they-visit#post-1455522 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 16:12:43 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1455522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My parents usually drive in for the day or only spend one night, so it's usually just doing the activity that we have going on (and helping to set up if it's something at my or my sisters house) and a meal. rattles on "What do your parents usually do when they visit?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-parents-usually-do-when-they-visit#post-1455214 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:01:55 +0000 rattles 1455214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ They come to see us, so we focus on quality family time. derevival on "What do your parents usually do when they visit?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-your-parents-usually-do-when-they-visit#post-1455204 Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:00:00 +0000 derevival 1455204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mom and stepdad live close by, so whenever they come to visit it's usually to help my husband and I with house work (e.g. moving, painting, construction, etc). My dad lives out of state and visits twice a year. He stays for about a week each time and stays busy the whole time visiting with other family members. It's a great visit because he has plans and doesn't need to be entertained the entire time and I still get quality time with my dad!
