The dawn of Spring is a glorious time of year as the air is warmer and the days are longer. Fresh food and fresh flowers are all around us. Which one(s) fun indoor/outdoor activities will you and your family enjoy?
If you really sit down and think about it, your Spring activity list could include just about any adventure you can think of. Here’s an initial batch of ideas:
- Plant a Spring garden.
- Have a picnic at the park.
- Join that hiking club you’ve been thinking about since last year.
- Join a running club or a softball league.
- Join the craze and hit the pickle ball court.
- Take up golf (or mini golf if that’s more your speed).
While not an exhaustive list, the one above can get you started. Here’s another list of ideas for some Spring activities if you have kids…or even if you are simply a kid at heart.
- Go fly a kite (for real, not just an expression).
- Find a playground and play on the swings or the merry go round.
- Feed the ducks at the local pond (not bread please)
- Wade in a creek and climb a tree.
- Blow bubbles.
- Draw pictures on the sidewalk with colored chalk.
Now that we have a few activities to consider, what to eat is also a big topic come Spring. The possibilities for fresh fruits and vegetables are amazing at this time of year. Enjoy some roasted asparagus, artichokes, new potatoes, spinach, sugar snap peas, and carrots. It’s also the perfect time of year for fresh strawberries and apricots.
Spring is a great time to enjoy simple pleasures like opening the windows and letting the fresh, clean air in or looking for rainbows, being outside bare feet, and enjoying the sun on your face. Decorate your house with fresh flowers and break out the Spring wardrobe of vibrant colors.
The darker days of winter are behind us, and the brighter days of Spring are here. Get off the couch and get back outside; it’s great for your mental and physical health. Spring is a beautiful time of year when the earth wakes up from its winter slumber. Get outside and enjoy all this glorious season has to offer : )
