Summer Fun in Central Arkansas at Wild River Country

Hot Fun in the Summertime
It’s a Wet and Wild Summer
Parents of special needs children, unite! I have an activity that ALL your kids can do together. If your kids are anything like mine, then you know how stressful choosing a summer activity can be, especially when you have to factor in a wheelchair.

Arkansas’ Summer Fun Place
As a new teacher, I’ve relished in my first summer break since I was in college (long, long ago). My kids and I have just been hanging out, having playdates, visiting family, and enjoying lots of pool time. So for my last week of freedom (my school starts mid-July), we decided to go to Wild River Country again. Quinn, Maya, Lucy (Maya’s friend) and I hurried out the door, and we were the first in line to get in when the gates opened at 10 a.m. READ MORE…
Summer Fun at Wild River Country
I had hopes of summer being filled with fun days with a slower pace of eating popsicles on the porch and laying by the pool in the afternoons. But, that is not the case with our family. Our life has actually sped up this summer while trying to balance some extra responsibilities on our plates in addition to just “normal life crazy”, so we are dropping the ball in some areas, letting people down, and just trying to survive and do the best we can with the 24 hours we have each day. I know that this is not unique to us and that all of you have those same seasons as well during the year, so you know what I’m talking about. Those times stink, but you are always a little better on the other end.
But the point is, There is no leisurely summer happening over here. We only get about 18 summers with our kids at home and that number just doesn’t seem like enough to me.
Even though we are super busy this summer I wanted to prioritize and get some time alone with each of my kids doing something fun. So I decided that I am going to take each one to Wild River Country alone! READ MORE…
A Place For Moms and Kids
Summer is one of the dreaded seasons in our house. My daughter is an only child and summer makes her miss her friends and seeing other people besides us and family. Vacations are limited because of the nature of Hubby’s job. Instead, we hit up places right here in Arkansas.
Wild River Country water park is one of our go to places. I remember going to this way back when I was in high school with our church group (Y’all, this was way back in the day). Now that Glitter is older she enjoys hanging around other people. This works out for me since it also means I get to hang with other moms. READ MORE…
