I can easily see why they would take the drive. Sometimes it takes very little to decide they need to go for a drive somewhere and what better excuse than to help out a grandchild?
Poll - Are my FIL and MIL a little nuts??

They were bored, not crazy.
They felt like they were being useful, and it gave them something to do to get out of the house. I'm not retired, but I work from home. I can relate to the need to get out and do something... anything!

dennis: You are likely right. They are a simple type and love to do thing for their 2 grandkids (my kids). And all things equal, they will likely be the only grandkids they will ever have.
SF: working from home can not be easy
And yes, I think you were right: it got them out of the house.

No matter the motivation, your son's grandparents are awesome people. Not crazy. May I suggest that you print and save this thread to show it to your kid(s) in about 15 years?
Great suggestion Gark.
They are some of the nicest/kindest people in the world. There's no doubt about it!! But from my upbringing, doing something like that (going back to get a couple of toys that the kid has been attached to for a month) would be absurd. I am glad that I see the way some families really are!
