Better Than A Booklist

May 9, 2014 by admin

We see them all the time. Someone puts out a list of all the books that kids should read when they are 7. Or when in High school. Or in order to be considered truly literate.

There are a lot of great books out there, too many for any list.

For our homeschooled little Bluey, we have a different kind of list.  A list for an explorer.  Parks!IMG_1793

We love visiting new places and getting the chance to meet new people. So we have embarked on an ambitious plan- to have our young son experience all the parks in our hometown (big and small).

There are over 200 parks in the city of Madison. That’s a lot of parks, so it’s a big challenge. But that’s not all we are going to do. We also resolved to attempt to visit all 31 parks in our county park system, and all the state parks as well.

It’s almost 300 parks to visit!

IMG_0127We know that this is an ambitious idea. But think of how many natural wonders our son will see! Think how many wild animals and plants we will encounter.

Maybe he’ll never choose to read the top ten greatest non fiction books of 2010, but we know that he will experience amazing things.
