17 Fun Things To Do To Kick Boredom To The Curb This Spring Break
Spring Break is underway in Tyler, Texas. School kids are getting to sleep in and stay up late and spend a lot of time with their friends or advancing through the levels of their favorite online game while many of their parents are still trying to adjust to the time change without a week off.
For those parents who take the week off or are at home with their kids for Spring Break, you'll want to find something to do to keep their minds active and to keep from hearing the phrase, "I'm bored!" As a parent, I've heard that phrase one too many times and it's always irritating because there are so many things to do.
If playing outside simply isn't enough and you and the kids get a bit of cabin fever and begin to go stir crazy, there are some options you might want to consider.
