Was your winter long? It was probably longer than you would have liked. Finally the weather is getting warmer and you feel you might actually be able to go outside- Yay! There are signs of spring all around.
There are so many fun things to do in spring but sometimes as we ache so deeply for summer swim weather we forget that spring has so much to offer. We all know waiting for summer will not make it come any faster so why not head out and enjoy!
After a long winter you are probably ready to get your kids out of the house and I am sure they are just as ready. So here are 30 things that won’t cost you anything (unless you don’t have the supplies on hand but most are things you have probably already purchased).
So get out- explore and have fun during this beautiful time of year!

The weather is warm, the skies are blue and there is new life all around. One of the things I love most about warm weather is the fact that my house stays a little bit cleaner- a little bit longer. Why not get those kids out and let them be themselves- exploring, getting a little dirty and looking on in awe as the world is blossoming all around them. You’ll feel great finally being outside and believe me, your kids and your house will thank you for it.
