All the Best Spring Bucket List Ideas

Has anyone else noticed that the days are getting longer, the temps are rising, and that fun colours are starting to pop back up in stores?! I can’t be the only one that is noticing that spring is right around the corner! The first few weeks of spring are some of the most rejuvenating and refreshing times of the year. As the plants and flowers start to come back to life, it is almost like everything else finds the confidence to kick the doors open and flaunt their stuff!

Your spring bucket list of ideas should be a bit different from mine, since you will want it to be inspired by who you are and what activities you like to do. Spring makes me want to clean out my closets and bake. In spring, I crave to get after a long cold, wet winter. It is spring that gets me excited about outdoor adventures and making plans to explore nature. What would spring ideas will you put on your list of things to do in spring.

Go to a Baseball Game

Nothing says “It’s springtime!” quite like “It’s game time!”

Grab your dog, a family member, or even the whole family and hit a nature trail. It is a great way to get some fresh air after a long winter. Just be sure to leave the trail better than how you found it!

April showers bring May flowers but dancing in the rain brings happiness! The spring season may be wet, so try to embrace it.
