Hello and happy Thursday! We hope your children are enjoying school and getting back into a routine. My daughter went to a cool place last week. I wanted to mention it for those who may not know about it. Explore Park in Roanoke is a wonderful outdoor park. She participated in the Treetop Quest Course with friends. There is a zipline, an obstacle course and a cargo net trampoline 30 feet in the air. Once they completed this course, her and her friends went on a tubing excursion. Explore Park also has kayaks, paddleboards, canoes and mountain bike rental. When you are done with the activities visit their Brugh Tavern for dinner before heading home. We are hoping to go back this fall as a family.
