There is nothing like the feeling of shedding off the thick winter coat as we welcome spring in New Jersey! For several months our state doesn’t feel like the Garden State as we are covered in snow and the blistering wind. As the sunshine begins to peek into our longer days, we have the strong urge to smell the flowers literally.
It is a challenge for most families to venture into the outdoors during the winter months; however, we are all leaping for joy when we can bring the kids to the playground to burn that excess energy. We have compiled a list of other ways that your family can have fun outdoors this spring!
