Spring Break Scenes in Western Springs

Documenting an early Wednesday afternoon in the Village for those students staying in Western Springs during their March week of freedom.

The week of spring break is frequently a quiet one in Western Springs, with many families out of town on vacation. But those youth who stay can often be found in the Village's parks and outside their homes, enjoying the warming weather and a week without school or homework.

We took a camera and canvassed the Village, especially the public parks, early on Wednesday afternoon looking for kids (and a few parents) having some spring-break fun, Western Springs style. It was a breezy, relatively warm day, and we found some playground activity, casual sports practice and much more.
