Things to do in March
Took the kids to a few nice events around El Paso this month. The kids really enjoyed going to the Generation 2000 event downtown. Stevo shot hoops and Jazzy caugth a fish in the tanks provided by the Ascarate fishing club. This was a nice family event but think the ticket prices were a little steep for what it was worth. The information handed out by the vendors was useful but think more families could have enjoyed the event if the price of admission was a little cheaper. We also spent one weekend at the Franklin Mountain Poppy celebration. This event was free and the kids got to take a shuttle to the festival. I say shuttle but it was just a rented van that we had to share with like thirty other people. The festival had speakers and exhibits detailing the animals and the history of the Franklin mountains. Stevo and Jazz liked playing bingo the best. We had a chance to visit the museum and Jazz got a little freaked out at the life-like Indian displays. She thought they were going to come to life and had to be convinced hat they weren't going to attack. Think this city has alot to offer kids and families and really like the different variety that you can find on any given day. Plan to take the kids to see The Hobbit at the Kids-n-Co theatre this Saturday.
