Hey Kids! Explore the Outdoors with the Wyoming State Museum

The warm weather of spring has arrived in Southeast Wyoming. Though still an occasional visitor, Snow has (mostly) departed from the plains. There are buds on lilac bushes and green shoots on the lawn. It's hard not to have spring fever at this time of the year. Thankfully, the Wyoming State Museum has the perfect event to dive into the beautiful Wyoming outdoors - just in time for the beauty of spring.
