Winter break has arrived. Yay for kids home and out of those germ infested buildings, it's time to let the sick bugs air out and get over all the winter sickness that's been spreading like wildfire this fall. But what to do? Here's a list of six things to do over winter break:

1. Go see the new Annie Movie. It's a modern day remake of the old classic movie. It's suitable for kids and families of all ages. It's worth seeing in the theatre.

2. Just because we haven't got much snow doesn't mean you can't go out and play in the snow. Elm Creek Park Reserve has snow ready to go for tubing and skiing and even snowboarding for the adventurous ones. You can even sign up for skiing or snowboarding lessons over break.

3. Go check out a museum. Minnesota Children's Museum and Science Museum are both in St. Paul making it easy to spend the morning at one and the afternoon at another.

4. Go ice skating FOR FREE at Landmark Center in St. Paul. What's more fun that skating outside right downtown in St. Paul? Go in the late afternoon or evening and you'll especially enjoy the lights from Rice Park.

5. Visit the Ice Castles in Eden Prairie. They open January 3 and promise to be a spectacular winter sight.

6. Sign your kid up for a cooking class at Way Cool Cooking School. From cupcakes to Chopped and Master Chef, kids will have a blast and learn some cooking skills at the same time.
