We had a staycation with our adult children and their families. It was so much fun, we want to do it annually.

• One of our sons asked if he could camp in our yard during his kids' swimming lessons. • He was hesitant to ask since we already had a temporary houseful. • Turns out that hosting everyone at our place allowed for more flexibility.

I used to think the term staycation was overused and overrated since the pandemic. I was wrong.

In June, my son and daughter-in-law asked us if they could park a camper in our yard during their sons' swimming lessons. They were hesitant to ask, as we had been temporarily housing our other son and his family for almost a year. They were afraid it would be too much for us, but we immediately accepted since we had no plans of our own anyway.

We hoped it would give the family time to reconnect as a whole and give the kids a chance to have fun with their cous
