Rafting in a Pond. Awesome!

Rafting in a Pond. Awesome!

My Summer break countdown has now turned to hours! I’m less than 96 hours away from Summer Fun. I can practically taste it! I wanted to share about one of the highlights of our Summer Vacation last year, our visit to the  adventure playground in Huntington Beach. I  wanted to take the kiddos for a few summers  and never got around to it. Last year we finally made it and had the absolute time of our lives!  We packed a cooler, asked our friends to join us, and we headed West to Huntington Beach for a day of fun. It was sooooo much fun!!

Rafting was first on our list!

The Huntington Beach Adventure Park is a must visit friends! We had such a great time. It was actually one of those moments in which I found myself envying my kiddos. The park is geared for kiddos aged 5 to 12 years old. Kids can raft on a small pond, try to cross a rope bridge, build stuff with a real hammer and nails(kids each get 3 nails and can earn others), go down a mudslide, and have a great old time getting dirty. It is good old fashioned fun!

The kids played hard. They got dirty. They had one heck of a good time. It’s all a mom could ask for. We had a seriously fun day. The Huntington Beach Adventure Playground is open from June 22nd to August 21st this Summer.

You can also hammer your heart away and wash up after playing in the mud!
