discovery center

I was one of those girls in school that really enjoyed science class. I remember some of the school projects that I did. Learning about the weather was one of my favorites. Then when I got to high school my love for it continued.

Sometimes as an adult, our kids get to have all the cool scientific fun.

Harry Potter fans are all around. You either discovered the series by reading the books while you were growing up or you watched all the movies. You couldn't wait to start the next one in the series.

So there are not a lot of fireworks around the Canyon and Amarillo this year for the 4th of July. There will be fireworks at Hodgetown all weekend long. You can celebrate Friday, Saturday, and Sunday with fireworks.

With the end of another school year here it is time to find fun things to do. The kiddos will be looking for ways to celebrate. We, as parents, want to also find a way that is not going to break our budget.

You want the kids to have a memorable summer vacation, right? You want them to have fun. You want them to have something to write about on their first day back to school. You know we always write about "what I did over summer vacation."

Amarillo has a wonderful place that is full of learning and fun, and it's not just for kids. It's for everyone young and old.

This is definitely a match made in heaven. It makes perfect sense that these two locations would go hand in hand. In fact they have been doing combined events for some time now.

After Christmas I'll take anything with the word "free" in front of it

I understand. Having the kids home for any extended time can drive even the greatest of parents a little crazy. The kids in Amarillo are out of school starting today. The Canyon kids have been out all week.

Nothing is worse than looking at your calendar for the month and realizing you need help. You see the kids are out of school for an extended time and you don't have enough vacation time to stay home with them.

Nothing brought me back to my childhood faster that seeing Curious George pop up on my Facebook timeline. I used to read and watch everything Curious George related. I loved that rambunctious monkey.
