No, I'm not being rude... get outside to celebrate National Kite Flying Month and National Garden Month! There should be plenty of time to catch some breeze and smell the roses if you're honoring National TV-Turnoff Week. Use NCPAD's Parks Database to locate an accessible park in your area for an outdoor activity for the whole family. If the unpredictable spring weather is still keeping you indoors, use the NCHPAD Programs Database to find a program that suits your needs... then write in to tell us about it!
