Best activities to do with kids in SLO County
Calling all you Mom’s and Dad’s who are in the middle of Summer and at your whits end with ideas for getting out of the house with your kiddos- I got you! Not only do I have a love for party planning but just planning in general- plus I LOVE our town and all the fun it has to explore so I get really excited to make these round up lists….probably more excited than I should- ha! But all that to say I have sat long and hard to think about all my favorite kid friendly hot spots and adventures here in SLO County. Keep in mind some of these ideas are seasonal, some are for toddlers and others for teens. I have done most of these adventures- if not all of them! I linked every idea to a website that can further explain….this post is simply a jumping off point for you if you are visiting the area or are a local feeling a bit in the rut…let me inspire! Hope you enjoy and be sure to #sharesomezest to show us your fun adventure!!
