Spring Bucket List 2022

Who else is glad to see the spring weather arrive? I love all the blooming flowers and green sprouting everywhere (except for those allergies!). Here’s a list of things to welcome spring. Let’s see how much we can get done!

Spring Bucket List

• Go somewhere with cherry blossom trees and take a few photos.

  • Here is a great list of Seattle & Tacoma cherry blossoms. I’m thinking of the tree near the Point Defiance entrance, Wapato Hills Park, and/or the path in Proctor. Or, perhaps a bigger trip down to Olympia if we can find the time!

• Knutson Farm Tulips. Just a hop away in Sumner. (Grab a coffee and crepe from Craft 19!)

  • See my Knuston Farm Instagram highlight for photos and video from last year’s visit.

  • If you want a huge tulip experience, and you haven’t done it before, check out the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. There are a bunch of farms that have fields of tulips.

• Bake something for spring carrot cake or lemon bars.

  • I already made my favorite carrot coffee cake, but I also love these creamy lemon crumb squares. Oh and this carrot cake baked oatmeal for breakfast!

• Spring break Utah trip.

  • Well, this is probably just for me. We’re going to see the grandparents near St. George!

• Do some gardening in the front and/or backyard.

  • We’re thinking strawberries per Caleb’s request. But maybe something else. We’re not the best gardeners, so comment with any tips!

• Go to an Easter egg hunt.

  • April 16th Spring Egg Hunt at Sehmel Homestead Park in Gig Harbor.

  • April 16th Egg Hunt in the Lincoln District.

  • April 9th and 16th The Spring Bloom & Egg Hunt at Knutson Farms.

• Color Easter eggs.

  • Color them with rice. Or check out this post I wrote!

  • Color them with cool whip.

  • Color them with Koolaid.

  • Get a cool egg spinner.

• Decorate the house for spring/Easter.

  • Check out The Garden Room in Gig Harbor for inspiration and purchases!

• Go for a bike ride.

  • Point Defiance, the Cushman trail, Chambers Bay, UPS campus, Wapato, or just in your neighborhood.

• Go to the farmers market.

  • Puyallup market is fun and much bigger. It’ll be every Saturday starting April 16th.

  • Proctor’s market is returning weekly starting Saturday, March 26th.

  • Make a trek to Seattle for my favorite, Ballard market.

• Do a spring art project.

  • ABCDee Learning has some cute Easter crafts.

  • Little Ones Learn Instagram has cute ideas - doable for younger kiddos, too!

• Washington Spring Fair to catch a ride and grab some food. We won’t be able to make, but maybe you will!
