May is here, and summer is arriving. I’ve been loving
>the sunny weather we’ve been having, and what better way to enjoy it than
>going outside! One of my favorite ways to stay active is going on a bike
>ride. I love going to dry creek and riding around there. This place has
>such a beautiful view. I love to take walks with my family or even go on a
>picnic with friends. Another great place to bike is the Virginia Trail.
>The trail is about 4 miles, and it’s a great activity to do with loved
>ones! Again, I highly recommend going outside and getting active.
>
>One of my all-time favorite places to go to is the Modesto Nuts Games.
>They’re finally back! I have so many memories from going to these games,
>and it’s nothing but great fun. One of my favorite things about these Nuts
>games is the fireworks at the end of the game. Check out their website to
>see which games will be having them. Games in Modesto are located at the
>John Thurman Field. There are many different food concessions to choose
>from; they have excellent chicken strips! Also, don’t forget to take a
>picture with the Modesto Nuts mascots Al, Wally, and Shelley!
>
>With this hot weather we have, it is important to stay hydrated. One of my
>favorite summertime drinks is smoothies. My all-time favorite smoothie is
>strawberry. It is super fun to experiment with different fruits from your
>local grocery store or our local farmer’s market. One recipe I enjoy
>making includes:
>● One frozen banana.
>● 1/4 cup spinach.
>● Half a cup of strawberries.
>● Half a cup of almond milk.
>Of course, you can add your own fruit combinations to this and
>test it out!
>
>I hope you all have a beautiful May, and enjoy the sun!
