Does anybody know anything that is kid freindly on St. Patricks Day. They're both out of school for stpring break.

Not Dallas but Dallas area:
LOCHRANN'S IRISH PUB AND EATERY
The newest red-headed laddie on the block boasts a family-friendly atmosphere and a plum location in spiffy Frisco Square. Despite its recent debut, Lochrann's sports some serious Old World appeal, including a smartly turned-out space and food that is much more than a pint-chasing afterthought. Locals have already made it a favorite haunt; expect a wait for a table during weekend prime time.

Get your Irish up: The bustling bar offers an all-import tap of 10 Euro-centric beers, though domestic fans will find a full slate in bottles.

Most interesting Irish menu item: Boxty (potato pancakes) stuffed with a choice of chicken and bacon, three cheeses or roasted vegetables.

Least traditional menu item: Penne à la Vodka (pasta in a creamy tomato and bacon sauce).

To-do list: No jukebox here: Enjoy live entertainment Thursday through Saturday nights. Sunday is family day, with Irish dancers and open-mike music sessions.

St. Pat's plans: A 100-person tent will be open Friday through Monday, and there will be live music nonstop inside and out. Expect a raucous party after dark, but the daytime celebration will have more of a family-festival feel, with face painters, bagpipers and other kid-friendly attractions.

I may have an idea. Look in your Chronicle type paper and find some church or something doing an Irish type awareness festival or gathering. Then brush up on your history some and throughout the day in a fun way bring it up and discuss.

Follow by taking them out for Fish n Chips. Sounds hokey but maybe kids would dig it. Then get 'em smashed on whiskey to emphasize moderation and self control in alcohol consumption. You can skip the last part. It's optional.
