Valitus and Dorothy Edwards took their grandchildren on a special trip a few days ago and were rewarded with some special letters.
Mr. Edwards, of Chattanooga, said, "June 1-3, we took our grandchildren to a Westgate Resort water park in Gatlinburg for our second annual after-school vacation. Last year it was Helen, Ga.
"Kaitlyn is eight, Caleb nine and Joshua is 12.
"They mailed letters to us thanking us and giving us the highlights of their stay.
"It was interesting to see that their levels of writing reflects their chronological ages and grade levels."

Dear grandmother and granddaddy,
Thank you for taking us. I had so much fun with you. My favorite thing that we did was the water slide. The hotel was also O.K. It had lots of rooms and lots of nice people. The hotel had a great design. I would love for you to take us again so we can tell scary stories.
Your grandson,
Caleb
I love you with all my heart!!!

Dear Grandmother and Granddaddy,
Thank you for taking us to Gatlinburg. We had so much fun there that if we went there a million times it will still be fun. My favorite thing to do was just to relax in the big pool with those floats. The water was so warm. I enjoyed having to spend the past 3 days with you. I look forward to spending more time with you. You guys are the best! Love you bye.
Your grandson
Joshua
P.S. I look forward to playing the drums also.
