Quite a few years ago I got this crazy idea to hit as many parks as we possibly could in a summer. I went to the City of Fort Collins website and printed off the map of parks. I laminated it so I could date it with a Sharpie... kind of a way to keep track. Funny thing is, some of the parks we now love weren't even built yet. Guess what that means, now that I look at my newly printed map? That our fave Fossil Creek Park (a.k.a. Mammoth Park with the big woolly mammoth in the middle) was built in 2003. It is edging 10 years old, which means our initial park tour was THAT long ago. Wow, time flies!!
I think it is time for Park Tour Circa 2012. It forces us to hop out of the car, try a new place and create new memories. Some "parks" are no more than a grassy area with an official sign... so those go fast. Our one rule was everyone had to get out of the car, run around and then we could mark it off. We often stopped for ice cream on days when we hit more than one
Here is to a fun summer and trying out some new things!
