Inthink it would be fun to travel to every single one of your localnparks (hop, hop, hop) today. Take at least one photo per park, andnwrite notes to yourself so your remember which one has that greatnclimbing structure you didn’t know about, say, and which has tennisncourts.

One thing my family realized recently is that severalnof our city parks are connected by “wilderness” trails. Wendiscovered this feature by accident when we saw a small sign at thenback side of one of our parks. Now I am a lot more alert to try tonread every sign at a park, in case we have been missing other “gems”nlike these pretty get-away-from-the-city trails!
