Spring is so vitalizing after the long soul sucking winter cold in Utah
I appreciate the spring time, now more than ever.
The days are starting to get longer, the trees and flowers are starting to bloom.
It is so refreshing to be outside and inhale all the fresh growth going on in the world.
In honor of springing into warmer weather, I have compiled my favorite Spring activities around Utah in hopes that you get the Spring fever too.

BABY ANIMALS!
There are a ton of baby animal festivals and celebrations around Utah in the Springtime.
Our favorite Baby Animal Festival by far, is the one at Cross E Ranch!!
In fact, we love it so much that I have an entire post dedicated to the Baby animal Festival at Cross E Ranch found here.
Their Animal Festival runs this year from April through May!
While you are there, do yourself a favor and try the fresh apple cinnamon doughnuts!
I am not usually a doughnut fan, but it was by far the best doughnut I have ever had.
