Kid-friendly Aruba

What six things should you do in Aruba, especially if you’re traveling with kids? I’m glad you asked. 😛 Go to Renaissance Island Before we went to Aruba, I saw pictures of people frolicking with flamingos on the beach and I promptly put “frolic with flamingos on the beach” on my bucket list.
