SPRING IS HERE! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and the pollen is killing your sinuses. Now that spring is here, it's time to enjoy the fresh air. Here are some activities that will get you outside and embrace springtime:

1. Have a picnic at the park.

Take a day to ditch your boring lunch spot, and go to a local park! Smell the flowers, walk the dog, and enjoy yourself.

2. Fly a kite.

I haven't done this in years, but it brings back so many good memories. Go buy a kite and remember your childhood year. Even sing the Mary Poppins song to make it more nostalgic. Let's go fly a kite!

3. Plant something green.

I am no expert in the flower department, but it's always fun to try and develop a green thumb! Whether it's planting some vegetables or pretty flowers, this will make your backyard into a beautiful scenery.

4. Visit the zoo.

Animals love the warm weather and are ready for some visitors. Head to your local zoo and check out some wild animals. (My personal favorite is a sloth.)

5. Ride a bike.

Exercising is actually enjoyable when there is perfect weather. Get out the dusty bikes, and take a little ride through the neighborhood. Your skin will love the warmth of the sun!

6. Clean EVERYTHING.

I am not a big fan of cleaning, but when spring comes around, I can't help but tidy my whole house. Open some windows, get the Clorox wipes out, and treat your home to a nice cleaning.

7. Go to the farmers market.

Where I'm from, the local farmers market is a must when its springtime. Go walk around and enjoy the produce and flowers the market has to offer.

8. Take a walk.

Take the dog or cat for a walk around the neighborhood. Take time to embrace the great weather and wear out the family pet.

9. Go to a baseball game.

My favorite part of spring is eating a hot dog while supporting your favorite baseball game. (Go Rangers!)

10. Drink coffee on the patio.

Why not wake up a little early, and start the day off right by sitting outside and enjoying a nice cup of joe. You can even read a book or the newspaper. (Yes, newspapers are still around.)
