Colorado Harvest of the month for May…
Strawberries
Physical Activity Topic for May…
Explore the National Parks
A bright spring day calls for some bright red strawberries! Wild
strawberries go back to the times of the Greeks and Romans.
Today California grows around 83% of the strawberries grown in
the United States. There are over 70 varieties of strawberries,
usually growing year round with peak season from April to July.
Strawberries are also fun and easy to plant in your own
backyard. Strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the
outside, averaging 200 seeds per strawberry.
Explore the national parks in Colorado. National parks are beautiful in the
spring and make for great family trips. There are so many ways to enjoy
your own breathing space at national parks. Here are some ideas:
Walking- a popular activity in all national parks. Take in the scenery and
get some fresh air into your lungs.
Bicycling- a great activity to get out and about in the national parks.
Check with the park to see if bike trails are available.
Horseback riding- a fun activity to travel through the national parks.
Some parks in Colorado provide horseback riding trails.
Water sports- a cool activity to discover the rivers of Colorado, including
fishing, canoeing, rafting and more.
Climbing- an exciting activity to view the scenery. Some of the best
climbing areas are located in Colorado national parks.
Wildlife watching- an adventurous activity to learn about native animals
of Colorado.
Besides eating strawberries raw and whole, they are good
toppers for ice cream, pancakes or waffles. They also add a great
taste to fruit salads, smoothies or cereals. Strawberry shortcake
is another popular food item. Who knew strawberries could even
be good in a salad? Try the recipe this month to make a
refreshing strawberry chef salad.
At the same time you’re enjoying these strawberries, you’re
getting a great source of vitamin C and folate, both playing roles
in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Eight strawberries will provide
140% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C for kids.
Strawberries are also fat free, sodium free, cholesterol free.
Approximately one cup of strawberries is only 55 calories.
Store strawberries in refrigerator for one to three days and wait
to wash until they are ready to eat.

National parks located in Colorado:

Mesa Verde National Park

Great Sand Dunes National Park

Rocky Mountain National Park

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park
Spending all day in a national park requires supplies. Remember to bring,
water, healthy snacks, protection from the sun (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses),
bug repellant, layers of clothes, waterproof jacket and a camera.
Not only do national parks give you places to enjoy, they provide a safe
home for native plants and animals. They also help keep the air and water
clean!
