Could this be the weekend that I actually put away my puffy coat and cease obsessing over the weather? For a few days, maybe, but let's not go crazy just yet, right? There is lots of family fun on offer this weekend, in or out of the sun, so take a gander at some of our ideas and start your plan.
It'll be a great weekend for your crew to roll out on a family bike ride, head to one of these rewarding family hikes with a prize or ogle the sweet baby animals at one of these local farms and petting zoos. Got little ones under age 6? This preschool bucket list has tons of fun ideas. And if you get too hot out there (ha), check our guide to the best family-friendly films at SIFF (opening Thursday).
