Salt Flats in Utah

Talk about thirsty! I was practically drooling when I saw the image of the individuals kayaking down the secluded, calm, turquoise clear-water canal radiating in contrast against the salt crystals. I could practically feel the tranquil, adventurous experience radiate through the screen. I desperately had to experience that moment. So when my boyfriend and I planned our trip to Utah I knew this had to be one of our stops.

Rolling Hills Water Park Is OPEN!

It was late July and I had just posted a meet-up with our playgroup, our destination, Rolling Hills Water Park in Ypsilanti, MI. As a mom I was slightly terrified, how was I going to watch all three kiddos go in three different directions at a water park? Turns out one of the best things I ever did was to make the event a playdate meet-up! Many eyes and hands make for light work when it comes to watching children. Playgroup moms are like an extension of themselves. We each divided and conquered the water park that day. Two moms took a group of kiddos to the lazy river, another two took kids to the water slides, and two stayed by the splash area with toddlers, and it was such a relaxing, enjoyable, and fun day for all of us, moms and kiddos. Seven years later and we are still continuing the tradition!
