Bored in Dallas?

My kids are sick (again!).

We've been stuck in the house for TWO WHOLE DAYS now...that is a long time with little ones!  I am itching to get out and do something (as soon as the fevers are gone and I'm no longer spending most of my day wiping copious amounts of yellow sludge from my kids' faces, that is).

In the honor of getting outside and doing things, I'm going to share with you a few of my favorite Dallas activities (and of course, link you to articles I've already written about them for Today's Mama...because today, that's just how I roll).

In no particular order, here are 5 Fun Things to Do in Dallas:


1. Ride the Dallas M-Line Trolley (this is free!)

2. Take the kids to Story Time at Barnes & Noble (you don't have to live in Dallas for this one, and it's free!)

3. Visit the Dallas Arboretum (I wrote about pumpkins at the Arboretum in this article, but it's awesome year-round)

4. Visit Fossil Rim Wildlife Center (a little outside of Dallas, but totally worth the drive)

5. Check out the Big Cats at the In-Sync Exotics Wildlife Rescue

If you live in or around Dallas, or are just visiting, you can find lots of things to do around town here.
