Spring Break has arrived. The kids are out of school and ready for fun. Here's a few ideas, practicing parents:

The Amarillo Library has plenty of activities to keep the kids busy.

Check out their calendar at amarillolibrary.org

Walk through time at the Amarillo Historical Museum. It recently opened and is located inside the old Wilson School at 211 SE 17th Street, Room 217. It features historical items from early Amarillo to present.

The Panhandle Plains Historical Museum's latest exhibit is all about the wild and wacky weather of the panhandle. Find out admission and hours at panhandleplains.org.

Here's a link to a KVII Discount deal on admission to the museum 

Brush with Art, a hands-on art studio has a spring break camp beginning Tuesday and running through Friday from 10am until noon. brushwitharonline.com

Practicing Parent, Jayme, recommends heading outdoors to "park hop." She says her family went to five different parks around town in one day!

Practicing Parent, Jodi, and her twin sons enjoyed Monday at the Amarillo Zoo. "The animals were active and seemed happy about the sunshine," Jodi said.
