Kalahari Resort Sandusky, Ohio

I just learned about an amazing resort and water & adventure park in Sandusky Ohio called Kalahari® Resorts. Have you been? If I could teleport, I’d be there in a heartbeat. So would my husband and kids. We love being around water and we love playing with our kids so naturally when we go on vacation or have a day or two to get away, we spend that time near and in the water. It doesn’t matter if we’re in the ocean, a pool, or a lake, we’re happy. Kalahari® Resorts offers parents a way to take a family vacation that everyone will enjoy.

What kids will appreciate and enjoy about Kalahari® Resort in Sandusky, OH:

  • The vibrant, fun atmosphere!
  • The water slides
  • Mini-golf
  • Candy bar
  • Arcade
  • Tree Top Play
  • Safari Adventures Animal Park
  • Multiple dining options

What parents will appreciate and enjoy about Kalahari® Resort in Sandusky, OH:

  • Everything above PLUS..
  • Watching their kids have a blast!
  • The exciting night life, including The Reserve
  • Rejuvenating spa and salon services
  • The swim-up bar.. (oh, I so want to be there!)
  • The delicious in-room dining selections
  • The available laundry facilities

 

With over 500,000 gallons of water, the waterpark has a lazy river, big slides, little slides all kinds of good stuff. My son would LOVE the Zimbabwe Zipper which reaches speeds of 40 mph! Me, not so much. I prefer the lazy river and kiddie slides. 🙂

The Safari Outdoor Adventure Park features a three-level ropes course, 400 foot long Zip Line Tour,   2 foot high Adventure Climbing Wall and the Safari Adventures Animal Park where visitors can get up-close and personal with some really awesome animals.

If we were able to visit Kalahari® Resorts, I would be most excited to try out the zip line! Ever since a recent trip to St. Louis when I got to Zip Line, I’ve been wanting to try it again in hopes of mastering the art of zip lining.  My husband and 12 year old son would run straight to the Zimbabwe Zipper and my 5 year old daughter would have a blast in the Tree Top Play area, a jungle themed indoor playground featuring a colorful maze of climbing areas, crawl-through tubes, webs and more! How fun!

Review & Giveaway: Chelsea Baby – The Baby Shoe with a Snap-On Bouquet

Chelsea Baby bouquet shoe

As a busy mom your baby’s shoes may be the last thing you think of when putting your baby’s outfit together.  When my daughter was a baby, I would often choose comfort over style when choosing her shoes for the day.   More often than not, Madelyn would be found wearing plane jane baby shoes.  If I had Chelsea Baby’s bouquet shoes, I wouldn’t have had to choose style OR comfort.  You don’t have to!  Your baby can have the best of both, style and comfort.

Made out of Sensuede and hand-crafted, Chelsea Baby brings babies switch-it-up style and comfort with their funkylicious (that’s what my 5 year old calls them) bouquet shoes.

These baby shoes are flexible, nice for infants and new crawlers, are easy to clean and care for, and are resistant to spills and stains.  What more could a mom ask for?

Chelsea Baby shoes have a cute little designs on them and you can snap on coordinating bouquets to kick up the pizzazz!

Choose from several snap on bouquet designs.. I would buy a few if I were you!

Chelsea Baby CHA CHA - $42.50
Chelsea Baby CHA CHA - $42.50

Where were these shoes a few years ago when my daughter was a baby?

Madelyn is waiting for the day Chelsea Baby offers their bouquet shoes for older kids. Hint, hint!

Chelsea Baby baby shoes are currently available in 0-6 months and 6-12 months sizes and there are three different styles in the girls collection now.
