The Magic Behind #100playgrounds

Since I’ve got a little free time on my hands this summer, I figure that besides rekindling my off-and-on blogging for the past decade, I could have some fun with the kids, too. Inspired by This Wild Idea, I figured visiting 100 playgrounds this summer wouldn’t be too hard to achieve. We’ll be traveling quite a bit throughout the midwest, so we can tie in geography, ecology, math, science, reading, and also local bike rides, hikes, picnics and more. We’ve already been to parks in Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. Maddie is keeping a journal, and I’m tracking via Evernote, Instagram, and Tumblr.

The rules:

1. Both kids must be at the playground at the same time
2. A few minutes of play is fine
3. Each playground only counts once – unless under construction

Wish us luck and check it out!
