Spring has officially sprung!
It’s that time of year when you want to spend as much time outside as possible and enjoy the beautiful Texas weather before the heat wave hits! Rather than scrambling each day trying to find what to do next with your kids, we’ve got an easy check list for you to use. And if you complete this list, check out our Spring Activities in DFW bucket list from 2011 or Spring Break Staycation Ideas for a few more helpful ideas!
And we know that not all the days are gorgeous enough to spend outside. The rainy days of Spring can sometimes be long and brutal, so we’ve added a list of great Spring indoor activities too!
So, get going and start checking off your list! June is just around the corner!
