2 The way it used to be

• When I was a kid, we used to visit my
  grandparents every month. They lived two hours
  from our home, so we always brought some books to
  read in the car. I used to hate the drive, and
  Id always complain, so my dad would buy us ice
  cream. That was fun. When we got to my
  grandparents house, my grandma would always let
  us play in her yard. They had a swing set, and my
  grandpa would push us on the swings.
