This blog has become a family project as well as a writing assignment for our daughters through the summer - a purpose to write about what we love - Playing! To make the summer extra special and affordable, we decided to explore different parks, playgrounds and campgrounds in Michigan. What we are discovering is the beauty of Michigan, the community within the parks, the resources available to us for no cost. Now that Michigan State Parks are using the Passport Program ($10 payable with your license renewal to give you access to all State Parks - previously available for about $30.00/year) the natural beauty of Michigan will be rediscovered. Match that with the economy in such a sad state, and Presto! Michigan Parks can become a mini-vacation: day-cation resorts.
We have chosen parks around Lansing, Brighton, Grand Rapids, Cheboygan, and everywhere in between. If you know of a park that your family loves, please let us know. In the meantime, grab your keys a map and get outside. It's a great day to explore! (and children sleep better if they have played outside...just in case you needed more motivation!)
