My friend Mellicent told me about a recent NPR story on the value of free time and unstructured play. Imaginative play helps children learn self regulation and impulse control in a way that scripted activities or classes can't. It was really interesting and timely on the day I created my new blog.
Read the article here.

I'll be at the beach a few days and won't be blogging. Please share your outings with me in the comments section while I'm gone!

Picnic area at Little Buffalo
Look closely, you can see the lake from our shady picnic spot.
Mayfred Lane playground
Few people know about this park
Fort Hunter
This is the playground on the east side of Front Street.
Lake Tobias
Max loved feeding the goats. Emilia poses with some guinea pigs.
New Cumberland Park
The kids love the size of this structure and I like the safety.
Gazebo
West Fairview boat ramp
The kids have never fed ducks before today!
Carousel horse merry-go-round
This was their favorite part of the playground.
Baby swings
Max let me push him really high in this swing. I think he felt safe b/c the back is so high.
Wormleysburg Memorial Park Playground
It's made of real wood so it must be older but was in great shape.
