WELCH, Justice
(concurring in part and dissenting in part).
I concur in that part of the opinion which affirms the judgment of the trial court in denying a permanent change of custody of the minor children involved.
As to that part of the opinion which deals with summer visitation and transportation, since that matter was not specifically presented to and passed upon by the trial court, I think it would be much better if we remanded the cause to the trial court with directions to hear the parties on this matter, and to fix such period of visitation and such details as to transportation expense as the trial court deems justified and proper and to the best interest of the minor children involved. It is my view that the trial court would be in better position, after hearing the parties on that point, to fix the time and duration of such visiting periods, so as to better serve the needs of the children and the convenience of the two families involved.
