Spring is always one of our favorite times of year because we get to be outside again whenever we want! The weather is milder and sweeter, and that means we get to explore and have so much fun! Spring always feels so fresh after winter, and I think it feels even more fresh this year after the long winter that we just had.
We’re so happy to be soaking up the sun and standing in the breeze, and we don’t mind a little drizzle either because we all know what that means- May flowers! So, here is our springtime bucket list!
- Make a trip to Lincoln Park Zoo. This is the place Greg says he fell in love with me and where we got engaged, and we cannot wait to take Georgia!
- Take a hike a Starved Rock State Park. Starved rock is so beautiful, and taking a hike really gets your endorphins going! Plus, we always end our hike with a yummy cheeseburger at the Veranda that overlooks the whole park!
- Fish the spawn. The spawn is going to be happening any day now, and it is so fun to fish during that time because the fish are so eager, and you can have a really successful day of fishing!
- Plant flowers for the honeybees. When I picked up my groceries the other day, they were giving away little packets of seeds to plant for the honeybees. We’re going to plant them because bees are so good for pollination, and they need a little bit of help! In some regions, up to 90% of bees have disappeared!
- Have a picnic! We’re planning to head out to our favorite part on the lake and have a picnic in the sunshine! We’re going to pack sandwiches, chips, fruit, and Diet Cokes!
