May Activities

 Seeing Friends during COVID isn't easy, and really not safe. However, there is always something that you can do! Baking with loved ones is great, and you can still do that! Go ahead and schedule a Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, etc. and get cooking! Decide a recipe with some of your friends that you can all participate in, and make a lunch, dinner, breakfast, snack, or whatever you desire. When you finish that, go ahead and sit down and eat, you can still be social even though it is not the same. 

 One of the best parts of spring is seeing the beautiful flowers after a long winter. The best way to see them? Go hiking! There are many hiking trails in and around Colorado Springs and they can be any length you want. Go to https://www.alltrails.com/us/colorado/colorado-springs to find good hiking trails in and around Colorado Springs.
