Who doesn’t want to be a kid again? If you can’t beat ’em, mom, just join ’em.

Featured Family Restaurant of the Week: Nutty Brown Cafe
Kid’s Night at Nutty Brown…Can’t beat free music & fun in an atmosphere that is relaxing for the adults and stimulating enough for the kids to keep them up and running long enough to carry on a conversation. Moonwalk, face painting, and balloons by Twistin’ Art, and live music.

If you are looking for a fun Springtime day trip to take with the kiddos, venture out to Sweetberry Farm in Marble Falls.
