Did you just look at the calendar and realize there are only two weeks left of summer break for your kiddos?! Wishing you could fit in one last hurrah? I would love to tell you about our most recent water adventure that the WHOLE family LOVED!
Waterworks Park, in Pueblo, CO (linked)
On Monday this week we loaded up our van with all seven of us, life jackets, tubes, boogie boards, and a picnic. We took off to check out the Waterworks Park. I get really nervous trying things for the first time with Tim or guests... I want to know all the tips and tricks and get the kinks worked out with low stakes. Thankfully I had a tip from one of my past professors on where to park and the day was flawless! I want to share our tips with you so you don’t have to worry about trying it for the first time with your family.
Things to know:
- Where to park (picture and also info in the link above).
- Life jackets are required for all swimmers (Walmart has a great 2 for $20 on the 50-90lb jackets)
- Tubes are fun, but not necessary ($4.95 at Walmart)
- Walk the whole area first so you can access which area might be best for your kiddos. Our girls were fine, but they are use to the river and currents. We were pretty happy to have a good adult to kid ratio.
- Bring a wagon - this is a must, it's a bit of a trek down (and back up) from the car.
- Bring lunch, and more snacks, and water than you think you might need, because I have a feeling you won't want to leave!
- Water shoes might be helpful ... we are used to not wearing them, but at the same time I was wishing I had my Chacos.
