Today I’m sharing a spring into Summer Bucket list with fun things for you and your kids to do this month. There’s still a few weeks left in school, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the longer daylight hours together outdoors.

-Take a spring hike (check out the 10 best trails in CT)

-Visit a farm

-Eat ice cream (We love Sweet Creams in Wallingford!)

-Shop at a farmer’s market (Wallingford has one every Saturday!)
