After months of cold, the warm temps are bringing people outside again in the Lehigh Valley.<\/p>\n
It was game-on at the Sand Island basketball courts, where temperatures in the 70s drew a crowd, celebrating sports and spring.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile in downtown Bethlehem, this is the weather people have been praying for.<\/p>\n
“This weather is just, physically and emotionally it just makes you want to do more,” said Ashley Golden, Moravian student.<\/p>\n
There’s a spirit of renewal on Main Street, where three generations of the Carter family are catching up, including 11-month-old Belle.<\/p>\n
“This is Belle’s first spring. Yes it is, and she absolutely loves being outdoors. And I think she’s trying to be on camera,” said Jillian Carter, of Emmaus.<\/p>\n
“It’s wonderful to enjoy the weather, and she loves to be outside and watch the people go by, so it’s really a pleasant experience and that’s what we enjoy about downtown Bethlehem,” said Brenda Carter.<\/p>\n
