Kamloops grandparents Jan Nademlejnsky and his wife had a colourful surprise this past weekend.

After being in self-quarantine, their grandkids arrived in front of their house and drew a huge message in chalk.

Nademlejnsky says there was concern the kids had been exposed to COVID-19.

"They just finished two weeks of self-containment," he says. "They were staying at Sun Peaks at first."

They were visiting their other grandparents, who had come from Ontario and were staying at the village. There was concern someone could have contracted COVID-19 after it was reported a doctor there had a confirmed case.

After no signs of illness, they left the house this past weekend and headed over to Nademlejnsky's house with a bunch of chalk. On the street in front of their grandparent's home they drew 'We Love You' in big letters, surrounded by hearts and other images.

Nademlejnsky says it was a nice surprise and that he was glad to see them, even if they could only give each other air hugs from a safe distance.

"I don't know how my neighbours feel about chalk painting," he jokes.

He adds it was a fun idea and thinks it could take off.

Nademlejnsky, who regularly posts videos of his flights above Kamloops, put together a video of the gesture.
