It's what you always told your kids to do. Playing outside is healthy, fun, and a great way to bond. Now it's time for your grandkids to get outside — and what better companion could they have than you?

We're inviting grandparents to come together to spend 1 million hours outside with their grandkids this summer — and tell us about it. Beyond the benefits to you and your grandkids, Grandparents.com will donate a penny to KaBOOM! for each hour you log. That's $10,000 when we hit our goal.

So grab the kids and join the movement — go play outside!

Hey Dr. Georgia!!!!
Not only are you on my mind but you must have been in my mind all along....
Most of my time spent with my grandkids 1 and 3yrs old has been out side in play grounds..Dinners and lunches, playing games etc. in the park as often as possible...THANKS...for validating what I always thought was a good thing.
Please keep talking to us...LOVE what you have to say.
