The two adverbial phrases seem to conflict, so it sounds strange, even though it may be logically OK. There are 2 ideas in the sentence - 1) Sunday was in the school holiday period and 2) Susan visited her grandparents..
Last Sunday fell during the school holidays, and that morning Susan visited her grandparents.
Last Sunday fell during the school holidays, and that morning Susan visited her grandparents.
