This summer, the kids and I are park hoppin'! How fun is that?! Well, a lot, actually!

Each Friday, if the kids have performed their morning routine (and I remember to have them do it) each day that week, we visit a new park.

We take note of the features of the park. Things like... is there picnic spots? Could we ride bikes here? Is there playground fun for all four ages (2, 3, 5, 7) and yet condensed enough that mom can keep an eye on everyone at once?

We've visited two new parks so far and look forward to checking out the many others in our sprawling town. We're on the lookout for the perfect park.

I've created a chart to keep track of all the parks we visit and the features they have. It is also my goal to take a group photo of the kids at each park. We'll see if I can remember.

If you'd like to park hop this summer, feel free to make use of our park hoppin' chart. (And if you live near Fort Wayne, drop me an email, and we can park hop together.)
