I don’t know about you, but I am LOVING the beautiful weather that we’ve been having these past few days! Don’t get me wrong, I know that with Spring, much needed rainy days are coming, but for now I am going to enjoy every minute of this glorious sunshine and warm temperatures.
So, that got me thinking, this is the perfect time to share some fun ways that we can all get outside to enjoy the spring — rain or shine!
1. INCLUSIVE TRAILS
What better way to enjoy the spring, than to get outside on a nature trail! To find a fun and inclusive trail near you, click on the link below! Or, maybe you want to find one that’s further away and then you can make it into a full day of fun…. road trip!
2. CHASE A RAINBOW
Is there really a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? You’ll never know unless you go see! For a fun spring outdoor activity, try chasing a rainbow! The next time you spot a rainbow, head out for a walk (or jump on your bike, or even in the car) and try to chase down the end. Let the kids take turns choosing which way you go! Who knows where you’ll end up, but you’ll be sure to have a fun adventure on the way!
3. PLANT A GARDEN
The idea of planting a garden may sound like a lot of work but, it doesn’t have to be! If you’re new to gardening, start small with just a couple of plants. You’ll be happy to know there are lots of fruits and vegetables that are quite easy to grow! You also don’t need a huge amount of space. There are lots of plants that can be grown in containers on your back porch or even on your windowsill. Check out some of the links below to get started!
HEAD TO THE DRIVE-IN
Put on your PJ’s, grab some snacks, a pillow, and head out for a fun night at the drive-in! During these crazy COVID times, this is a fun and safe family activity to enjoy on a beautiful spring night! I was actually quite surprised to learn that Ontario has half of all the operating drive-ins in Canada! Hopefully, this means there is one close by for you and your family to enjoy! For a full list of drive-in’s simply click on the link below.
DANCE IN THE RAIN
Yup, you read that right… and no, I’m not crazy! Feeling the rain coming down on you, jumping in muddy puddles, or squishing your bare feet in the muddy rain-soaked grass, is s an amazing sensory experience! Simply wait for a nice warm spring shower (make sure there is no thunder or lighting) and then head outside! I bet it will be something you’ll all remember for a lifetime!
Well, I hope one, or maybe a few, of these ideas, jumped out at you as something you would like to try this spring! While I was perusing the internet for some of these fun Spring inspirations I also stumbled across a few jokes that are just too cute for me not to share.
