It never occurred to me, but the vast majority of my “free” time is spent in a park.

According to my calendar, my family visited nine parks a total of 12 times in three different cities last week. The week before, we visited 11 parks in two different states.

In fact, as far as I can tell, the last time somebody in our family didn’t set foot in a park was February 28. Today is May 14.
