Wow, there’s A LOT going on in Utah!! And what a great list you’ve compiled. That would really be helpful to someone trying to plan summer with the kids.
Thank you! We have a lot of fun here!
WOW! Now that is a resource! I know tons of people in Utah and they all have children! This must have been a lot of work to put together! Here in Florida, in my area, we have two pools and one of them you have to be a member in order to go! You have to have a military ID (which I have) to use the other one! Swimming is such a fantastic exercise and a great way for children to get out some good energy! We bought a pool and we swim every single day!
Thanks for such a great resource!
And which ones do you recommend? I am sure you and your family are having heaps of fun this summer.
I use water slides as a metaphor in my today’s post. I guess it’s the heat …
Stay cool! HUGS <3
I like the Lindon Aquatic center because of the Flow Rider – surfing. So fun!
