Split families and grandchildren favouritism

hiya,
going to try and make this short and sweet….
my parents divorced when I was young. And they both remarried.
I have a step sister on my dads side and we both had two children each at similar times.
all 4 grandchildren call my dad and her mum Nana and grandad and mostly I feel treated equally. I am aware my stepsisters kids see my step mum and my dad much more cuz of the mother and daughter relationship which is fine and I understand.
my problem that I can’t shake from my head is … over the past 2 years… my step mum has taken her biological grandchildren away on holiday for 1-3 days 3 times now. The first time she called me as I think she felt guilty and said “ it’s your two kids turn next” it’s never happened.
now she doesn’t take them away with my dad she goes with the grandkids other nana but I just think it’s very unfair.
we make a big effort for everyone to be called nana and grandad however our children are not taken anywhere! This is not about me having a break I just feel it’s not fair on our children. The kids get on so so well and if they was aware I think it would effect them.
am I being over the top and over thinking this? Any thoughts would be appreciated:) x

Is it possible the other GC are easier to look after?

My ils never had a holiday without taking sil's dc. Our dc never even had a day out. Absolute shame they aren't valued the same whoever gave birth to them.
