Rainy Day Favorites

Now that the weather is nice we LOVE to be outside! Sadly, Lucy doesn't quite understand why we can't go outside and play when it is raining. We try and do something active every morning. Whether that is play dates with friends or walks to the park, I love to wear the girl out before her noontime nap. I'm always looking for new ideas and ideas that won't break the bank! Here are a few of my favorite things this Spring and some I'm looking forward to trying:

Some of the locations are too long of a drive for us before nap and I struggle to keep Lucy awake for the drive home. The last thing I want to do is ruin an afternoon nap! Sometimes I try and meet with girlfriends that live close by on mornings that I know we can't be outside. It is nice to take turns where to meet. 

On nice days, we love to walk to the park in the neighborhood! We are very lucky and have three close by. Sometimes we drive to the local parks like Forest Park or Dillon Park.

Lucy loves her walks!

Lucy really likes sweeping outside or in the garage with the broom. She also likes to "help" me garden and weed. It has been really fun to see her mimic what we do! I'm sure there are many ideas but these are just a few things we've done this spring! Please share some of your ideas with us!!
