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!

Splat at Spin & Splat

Raising teenagers can be challenging at times but it’s also a magnificent stage in your child’s development. While the rest of the world may see them beginning to take the shape of an adult, as parents we are privy to the vulnerable moments, we can still see the shy timid scared kindergarteners on the first day of school or three-year-olds attempting the big slide on their own. Their egos are easily wounded and as such they become timid and often reluctant to share. Not to mention, as parents, we are very busy and may unknowingly come across as distracted and uninterested. This is why it is so important that we make the time to spend quality time with our teens.
