Tips for the Amusement Park & Big Attractions - by Wendy

Before you head out to the amusement park, check out these quick tips:

• Wear bright colors! Put your children in the same shirt or same color to make it easier to find everyone. (Brightly colored bathing suits and rash guards work for water parks.)
• If you have a stroller, buy one or two balloons to tie onto it, so the rest of your family can spot you easily.
• Have a signal or whistle that everyone knows to respond to.
• Bring walkie talkies to use if you split up (or to communicate when waiting in those long lines).
  
• Create a meeting place in case you get lost or split up. Show everyone where it is before you head off to the rides and discuss what to do if you get lost.
• Bring a small first aid kit (bandaids, antibiotic ointment, tweezers, alcohol swabs, etc...) so you can deal with any minor scrapes or injuries quickly and easily. Don't forget the pepto-bismol, tums or whatever best settles the little tummies in your family.
