Spring has (FINALLY) Sprung

The weather is finally nice, Let me know what you're up to! I'm sure spilling my plans!

Late last week I was ranting about weather, and here we go again. But this time... It's not ranting, its celebrating the sun! This weather is great for being outside (okay I could do without the strong winds), I even broke out a chair to sit on my balcony to study.

There are so many things to do in Lakeville when it’s nice out… you can visit one of the millions (okay so that’s stretching it) of parks, hang out by a lake, or do all of the above! My favorite thing still is grilling at a park… The one I’ve found to be best is , there are two playgrounds (one for the little tots), Picnic areas, volleyball courts (sand), beaches, and grills. Everything a family would want for a great afternoon outdoors.

is also a great place to explore, allows you to see nature up close and personal. While driving to the park, there is a long road to get to the “parking lot” if you look closely there is a eagle nest on the South side of the road, Very cool if you can spot it. There are many places to stop and have a picnic, forget that the city is so close.

I finally want to make plans for the season, just being outdoors (even if it is just studying) is great, People can finally get out of the winter depression that has went on so long. Dog parks here I come (I wish Lakeville had one… But Burnsville’s works great (Alimagnet Dog Park)!

Thankfully things are getting nicer; I can actually look at the weather forecast for the week and not get depressed, sun, sun, some rain, and more sun! It’s finally Spring, how do you plan to spend your time this season?!
