Now that February is here, is anyone else celebrating that winter is over next month? For cold weather fans, there's still plenty to do for winter family fun, including the always popular Washington Harbour Ice Rink. If you'd rather stay warm indoors, the big draw of this weekend will be Paw Patrol LIVE! at the Eagle Bank Arena in Fairfax. You can also find some fun indoor play spots if that's more your speed.

For families wanting to get creative together, the two-part t-shirt quilting workshop at Anacostia Community Museum is a great way to make memories and learn a new skill. Or head to The Phillips Collection's Creativity Workshop to try your hand at various artistic endeavors.

Whatever you pick, have fun this weekend, DC families!
