Spring is finally here! When the warm weather arrives, I know by the young kids playing on the block I live. It feels like the Daytona 500 with all of the Power Wheels vehicles driving on our street, except real racecar drivers are more conservative. Different types of balls everywhere, and bubbles everywhere.
After a long New York winter it’s fantastic to finally go outside and enjoy some nice 70 degree sunshine for a change. I love spring. The weather is ideal and the bugs haven’t made their way out yet. It’s the best time to play outside with my boy.
