#VisitBucksCounty

Hello everyone! Need a fun, frugal day trip idea for the weekend? If you live in the Bucks County area, consider doing this scavenger hunt. Last weekend, our family went to all the locations to find the answers to each of the clue questions. It was a blast! 

We discovered so many new playgrounds and community parks we never knew existed!

You can pick up a scavenger hunt sheet at the Bucks County Visitor Center or download it online. On top of all the exploring you will be enjoying, there is a chance to win some great prizes as well! Besides the scavenger hunt submissions, you can document all your #BucksCountyMoments on Instagram or Twitter. 

Go see our #BucksCountyMoments on my Instagram feed!

Here is a list of all the places we visited: 

1. Warwick Community Park
2. Northampton Municipal Park
3. Middletown Community Park
4. Lookout Park in Upper Makefield 
5. Warminster Community Park
6. Bensalem Central Park
7. Lenape Park in Perkasie Borough
8. Laurel Park in Solebury Township
9. Churchville Nature Center
10. Veterans Park in Newtown
11. Visitor Center in Bensalem
12. Visitor Center in New Hope

This was a wonderful trip! It took a little bit of planning (Thanks, Dad!) to see what was the best route to travel so we would not have to back track. 

Many of the places we visited also had restrooms, picnic areas, fields to run through, and playgrounds. Our girls looked forward to each new destination. They were involved in finding the answers to the clues and knew they had a new playground to explore! 

It was one of our "best days ever"!

Happy Exploring!

Spring in the Park

This past weekend was gorgeous! In the 70's, perfectly warm during the day with chilly nights! I could not have asked for a more beautiful beginning to Spring!

We spent Sunday at the park celebrating my brother Noah's birthday (the big 30 this year!) just as we did last year.  

Here is some of our gang! 

 There was kite flying and baseball games!

Grandpa and Sophia were in charge of rocket launches!

Cousin Kate enjoyed another day at the park!

This time bringing along her mommy and future baby brother along for the fun!

and her twin Gracie!

Uncle Joshua's turquoise Converse 
(Madelyn said she definitely wants a pair!)

Lana searching for treasures in the dirt

and birdhouses in the trees.

The twins questioning their love for butter...

but never for each other!

It was a great day!
See you next year for another play date at the park!

Fantastic Friday Finds

Here are the twins enjoying their organic Pluots, courtesy of Grandma, on our trip to the park this past Wednesday! Pluots are a complex cross hybrid of plums and apricots and are simply delicious!

Speaking of summer and its many fruits...check out these adorable free bookmarks from JinJerup! What a perfect little hostess gift to bring if you are attending a summer book club!


Also, you can check out your walk score! This site will rank how walkable your neighborhood is!

Unfortunately, my neighborhood only ranks a 45 out of 100 and is considered a car dependent neighborhood.

Hopefully your neighborhood scores better!

Plus, if you are wondering how to spend your weekend full of fun but not so much cash, discover a new park in your area at the National Park Service website! We had a blast at Valley Forge!

A perfect summer day is when the sun is shining, the breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, and the lawn mower is broken. ~James Dent
