Ya know how the fam totally gets stoked for a road trip, but you end up hitting the road late, & suddenly once you arrive everyone gets hangry? Yup, that’s what happened! Lol! Thankfully, we stumbled upon this AWESOME restaurant! OMG! I was blown away by this restaurant. It’s not your typical small-town greasy spoon. In fact, it reminded me of a restaurant we ate at last year in Sydney, Australia. You read correctly, I legit just compared a Wapakoneta restaurant to an Australian big-city restaurant…it’s that good!!

Who’s up for a mini-day trip? Thorn Park SPLASH PAD is the perfect day trip…play on the playground, have lunch, & splash…see details below.
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!
Temps rising, sun blazing, & the cost of a waterpark is just outside your budget? Thankfully, the amazing community of Wauseon, Ohio, has been kind enough to extend an invitation to their local pool to all visitors. Which, let’s be honest, is kinda a huge deal, especially when they totally had the option of only including individuals from their local community. Thus, with that being stated, when visiting, please extend your gratitude, thank them for opening the pool to visitors, practice your best poolside manners, and, most importantly, have fun!
