Free things to do with a Toddler....

 With spring officially here (THANK GOD!)

I have found myself looking for Free and Fun things to do a toddler outside.

Collin is now in constant motion and loves to be outside.  

Here are a couple wins that I have found.....

Fountain at Fairfax Corner

We walked up two weeks ago just to go for a family walk and much to our surprise the fountains were already on.  We walked over and just let Collin watch- I was sure he was going to be scared.

But nope- he wanted out of his strolled and ran in to the fountains.

(Yeap Clothes and all- because if I had planned this and put him in his bathing suit then by toddler rule he would have wanted nothing to do with it.)

We have now been up twice and can see this as a fun summer activity especially on days I am home and it is less crowded.

Another win was our trip to Frying Pan Park Farm with my parents.

One day I needed to get out of the house so Joe could work on his paper and take Collin with me,

I remember going here when I was little and thought Collin would love to run around and look at the animals.  

At first he was a little unsure of the place but he loved the turkeys and anything that was a bird.

 But I think his favorite was riding the tractors...

obviously not real ones.  

We went on the earlier side which was a good idea since as we were leaving it was getting more crowded.  Next time I would pack a lunch as they had a pretty awesome picnic area.  

Any other suggestions on free activities???
