Parks and Recreation

                How many times have you had your children say what can we do, I’m bored? Even my husband can say this sometimes too. While we were gone on our Solar Eclipse visit to Kentucky, we had an extra day to just sit in the Bed and Breakfast place or find something to do, so our gracious host suggested going to a local park with hiking trails. We decided to try his idea out and visit the park. We were amazed at how many hiking trails there were to hike and discover. Here are some pictures of the park we saw while in Kentucky. They had a beautiful welcome center and eating area. They gave us maps and off we went. They had over 12 miles of trails we could hike with different degrees of difficulty for hiking. We spent several hours here enjoying the scenery. Since this was a state park we had to pay only $5 dollars for a car load. We thought this was cheap considering the amount of time we spent in the park.

               

There are so many parks around in any state for hiking and any kind of recreation you want. I recommend checking out your state's parks and enjoy them for little to no cost. Parks are a fun way to spend time with your children or grandchildren. Some parks have swimming pools and other fun things for your children and your grandchildren to use at a very low price. Taking the time to find different parks to see and do different things is half the fun. Have your kids help look up parks online and let them pick out the ones that they find interesting and fun. Not all parks are just for hiking trails.

                Parks have so much to offer at little to no cost. You could spend an hour or more at a park enjoying nature. Make a day of it and pack a pick nick lunch and take this time to reconnect with your children and grandchildren. Get them outside and off the electronics for a few hours and everybody will be much happier and healthier. Enjoy a day in the park from Suzie Homemaker.
