Things to Do in Round Rock: Rockin' River Family Aquatic Center!

We love Rockin' River, though it was certainly a bit more stressful with a baby in tow this year than with several older girls. I think our next trip back will be on a day when daddy can join, too!

Here's my little bathing beauty!

Things to Do in Round Rock: Micki Krebsbach Pool.

The summer has only just begun, and boy have we found a gem! My meetup group recently met up at Micki Krebsbach Pool (here forth just called the "Pirate Pool" at our house, per my daughter's apt naming skills) for an afternoon at a kid-friendly pool, and it was awesome! I always enjoy pools that have toddler/kiddie areas with zero-entry beaches, but have older kid- and parent-friendly attractions also (here, the water slide and barrel rope challenge were awesome!). This place really is fun for the entire family! Ava's already been asking to go back. Here are some pics from our visit, including one of me with Jack in his water sling (Water slings, by the way? Basically the best invention ever, allowing Jack to be strapped to me and kept above water while I am able to have both hands on Ava when needed also. If you're in need of one, I can put you in touch with the woman who made mine both fast and inexpensively!).

Without further adeiu:

What you should know:

-There is an entrance fee, but they accept visa/mastercard. Woot! They also accept cash, obviously. For Round Rock residents, it's $2.50 for adults, $1.50 for kids (even infants). I believe it's an additional dollar per person for non Round Rock residents.

-Micki Krebsbach Pool is named for a young girl who drowned many years back. Please, please, please be familiar with what drowning looks like, as well as the dangers of secondary drowning, and watch and act accordingly.

-Micki Krebsbach Pool is located at 301 Deepwoods Dr, Round Rock, TX  78681

Rock'N River Aquatic Center

The summer is getting more unbearably hot by the day, and while Austin has some amazing splash pads, we're definitely always in search of some new places to have fun in the sun while still staying cool. Luckily, we heard of this relatively new water park in Round Rock about fifteen to twenty minutes north of us, and we decided to check it out. Just to let you know how much fun we had, we have now been twice in six days!!

Here are some pictures of the water park:

On top of the amazing water slides both for adults/older kids and little kiddos and the zero entry beach area that was perfect for toddlers, they also had a lazy river that you could float through over and over. I have to admit that this was my favorite part :) I think it was Ava's favorite part, too!

Did I mention that we had all the girls this weekend while their parents were out of town?

Though Rock'N River was awesome itself, isn't the best part of the water park afterwards?!
