You all have been so thoughtful and full of great ideas and opinions. Thanks for such a wonderful response. We'd love to hear from more of you.
The essence of what I'm getting is reality versus fantasy.
The father figure is involved and feels similar to the mother.
The mother sees the benefits of the fantasy issues and feels the concerns of the reality issues, as do both my wife and I.
We're taking grandson for 4-5 days in early November to great grandma's for a visit. We'll see how that kind of time period goes.
Two winter trips is unlikely due to the distance we have to travel to get out of winter and into nicer weather, so a homesick grandson would likely result in an extremely shortened trip for ourselves; not the best of precedence to set. And that doesn't even address the mom's homesickness for her son.
There will be plenty of time to bond, including those summer boating and fishing day trips from the home location.
Keep up the input!
