Fly a kite! Last year we went out to fly a kite with some of our nieces and it was so much fun. I forgot how much fun flying a kite could be. Plus their reactions were priceless, they loved it!

It’s really fun flying a kite, even if it’s just a simple kite.
I’m not a huge fan of the Spring because my go-to free activity – going to the beach – can’t really be done when it’s this cold. I do like to get outside some in the Spring and have a couple bonfires.

Having a bonfire is a good thing to do during Spring time too, especially with marshmallows with you!
One of my favorite things to do is take my citibike and go explore a part of town I don’t spend much time in. I’ve lived in NYC for ten years, and I discover new things all the time.

I totally agree with you Stefanie.
Love this list and what a perfect time for me to see this! I’m refocusing my saving efforts and want to make sure I keep a social life and still have fun, especially come summer time!

Glad that you love it Janine!
I really want to ride my bike more this summer. I have a really nice bike but I think last summer I only got out twice and I don’t really have an excuse. It’s such an enjoyable activity and there are a lot of great paths in my city.

Good for you Liz, I do have a bike too, but unfortunately I really don’t know how to ride a bike but I’m still practicing! lol
After the winter we had, I’m just happy to go outside without a coat and to see the grass!! I enjoy taking walks or hiking with my wife or even getting out and going for a bike ride. It’s cheap and it helps to keep me healthy at the same time!

You’re absolutely right Jon! Spring is the best time to go outside and enjoy the good weather.
Great ideas here, Pauline!!! We love to go to the beach and to hike and bike during the summer. Anything outdoors in our short summer season is super fun. 🙂

We are planning to go out with my family, maybe next week and we are going to have an overnight swimming! Thanks for dropping by Laurie!
I love spring time! It opens up so many options for free outdoor activities. Especially with my family!
Great post! You have reminded me of some great things to do!

My favorite cheap spring activity is going to the park with my kids. It’s in walking distance, so we get exercise. The kids love it!
