Sometimes deciding how to spend your time outside as a family is just as hard as getting out the door. Most of the time, inspiration can be found in our own backyard. Other times, we could use some fresh ideas for motivating our outdoor adventures. We are quickly approaching the start of the April Hike it Baby 30 Challenge so we wanted to give you 30 ideas for places to go to spend time outdoors this spring:
