Spring into Good Times: Moms Talk

We're in a gorgeous stretch of May-like weather. In the middle of March.

Wednesday's forecast calls for sunny skies and a high of 72 degrees. And this weather's not going away any time soon. It's going to be in the mid-60s to low 70s into early next week. Both Saturday and Sunday will be sunny, to boot.

Today, let's talk about shedding the winter coats and getting outside.

What are you looking forward to most about spring this year? What plans do you have for getting out and having fun with your family?

Share ideas for places in and around Avon that are good for kid-friendly outings. Do you have a favorite park, playground or walking trail? Or maybe some ideas for fun activities that can be done right in our back yards?
