Welcome to Park Hopping Momma blog! This a blog dedicated to the various parks and playgrounds in the areas of Bucks County, PA and parts of New Jersey.
While I have enjoyed being outside in nature, I was never a nature enthusiast. I didn't like the beach growing up because I didn't like the sand, or the heat or just sitting around or playing in the ocean. Pretty sure I found nothing about it fun. I didn't like being hot or cold so I often didn't go outside. When I had my first son Sam in 2010, I was working and he went to daycare. We would frequent parks and playgrounds on my days off or on the weekends. I have taken him to the beach in the summer, to play in the river when the weather was nice and so on. But it was never something we did constantly.
Then I had my second son Max in 2016 and I became a stay at home mom. We had a lot of free time during our days. Unfortunately, Max was not interested in toys like his older brother had been. He didn't like books or music or even the TV. I found myself taking him for a walk twice a day regardless of the weather (no rain or snow, however). It was the one thing he enjoyed the most so we spent a lot of time walking the neighborhood or the park. After his brother got home from school, we would often go to the playground where Sam would run around and play while Max played in the swing.
Soon Max became more mobile and eventually, he stopped liking the stroller. Playgrounds weren't really his thing yet so we explored a lot of the parks around us. We have probably been to every park around us. Eventually, once he started to like the playground, we found those too. That's where I got the idea for this blog from. We have found some very cool places and unique things while we have been out exploring. I think it's time we share those experiences.
I hope to inspire to you to get out and explore more! Enjoy!
Been waiting for forever for this!!!
