Slide a New Slide in the Meadows Rec Center (photo credit)
Slide down somewhere new and try out the Meadows Rec Center. We love the fact that this slide comes down into shallow water, making it simple for our adventurous Violet, to slide alone (or with her sister) – and the fact that the stairs are see through all the way up so we can keep an eye on them from below. Plus, the bright and sunny environment is a fantastic time to take some fun under-the-water photos of the kids. Our tip? Go early in the morning, especially on spring break, where it gets busy.
