It's in the afternoon. Also you can use 'Them' instead of repeated 'Grandparents'. Thanks

At the afternoon

To say “at afternoon” is not grammatically correct because we are using the preposition in its place form. However, this is what confuses many English learners because we can say,

at midday
at sunrise
at sunset
at lunchtime
at dinner
at breakfast

Afternoon – Anywhere from 12:00 pm to late afternoon, 5:00 pm or even 6:00 pm.

The same applies to the morning and evening. Since morning, afternoon and evening all have a starting point and end, we say ‘in the,’ to describe that period of time.

I will leave in the morning after breakfast.
Do you like to take a nap in the afternoon?
In the evening I will take you to an excellent restaurant nearby where we can watch the sunset.
