I don’t know about you, but I am ready for some nice spring weather! After months and months cooped up inside I cannot wait to get outside, put my feet in the green grass, and smell the flowers!
As the weather gets warmer and spring begins to bloom everywhere we look, it is the perfect opportunity to get outside and enjoy this refreshing new season.
There are always so many things I want to do this time of year, I thought what better way to keep track of them than a bucket list? We have so many to-do lists, it is a nice change to have some FUN things to check off every once in a while!
We’ve put together The Ultimate Springtime Bucket List and various spring events in and around Genessee County. Use this list to create your own Spring Bucket List and have fun checking things off as a family! I would love to hear what you’ve added to yours!
