Relocating to Rockford Michigan ~ welcome!
Moving for any child can be very hard. I remember moving next door and that was very upsetting to me when I was eight. My Father and Mother owned 40 acres and we were building a new house next door. Even had my own room! Didn't matter to me, we were leaving something I was very familiar with and had some attachments too.
When child move, some of them can handle it with flying colors and others, not so much (like me!) That is why I have asked my son to help me find out what is cool and fun about Rockford and what he likes about living here.
Here is what both of us learned:
He loves the White Pines Bike Trail which starts in our home town of Belmont which is south of Rockford. He enjoys the stops along the way as well. On this nice summer day we headed up to Rockford for our lunch and shopping.
As we leave our neighborhood we catch the trail on our bikes around the bridge over West River. The Game Room Guys make us laugh!
The great thing is that is is all down hill from our house. It is the way home that is a work out!
We head up north and it is always fun for Cole to see his school. He always tells a story or two about the playing on the playground or something that he remembered when he 'was little'!
and his favorite is The Corner Bar 31 N Main St once we get to Rockford. We often stop to check out flowers, birds, turtles and meet many friends along the way.
I have grown up on many of these yummy hot dogs myself! And no, my name isn't on the wall! We always have great food and great service. Cole loves to get the Root Beer in the bottle! We often go during the summer and watch the Tigers play ball. (That is all I am going to say about them in this Blog! lol) H
We always run into other class mates, friends and neighbors here. It is comes highly recommended! We do have to save room for desert!
From there we end up at another one of his favorite stores.This is a must for every kid young and old alike. They have the coolest toys!
Aunt Candys Toy Company located at 63 Courtland. This is just a few skips away from The Corner Bar.
Here we always find new and interesting toys! We have spent an hour in here "just looking!" They are very helpful and ready and willing to show you how something works!
By then we have saved room for desert and head over to Rocky's for a refreshing treat!
Rockys Dairy Depot 110 N Main Street
We grab our treat and head down to the dam. There is always something interesting there. Fish, ducks, Swans, birds and fisherman!
It is so relaxing and great place to talk about what a great place we live in!
This time we noticed the nature walk was open. We thought this would be cool! My goodness, what an awesome adventure this new boardwalk along the river is!!
On our way home another great stop is Picket Park. It is right of the bike trail just south of town.
There are many more places to enjoy! We just couldn't get them all in on the 4 hours we had.
But it was a great day!
