View submission: How often to visit elderly grandparents?
Perhaps start a project with them.... like try to get their version of the family history/genealogy/their memoir. It might make both sides look forward to the visits more. Once they're gone, they'll take a lot of information with them that you'd be hard pressed to get otherwise.
For instance, my great-grandfather died when my grandmother was quite young. Her mother remarried and she had a step father and never really knew her real father, but I never questioned her about him and I wish I had.
I know it doesn't answer your question, but I think if you started asking questions like that and taking notes, it might take the pressure off the visits?

Do they have photo albums? Go through them and take notes about the pictures.
