What To Do Today?

So we are having yet another absolutely gorgeous day here in Anchorage, Alaska. And I am at a complete loss as to what the kids and I should do. I really want to take them to the Seward Sea Life Center, link to the right, but I don't want to go all the way there, it's about an hour and a half drive away from Anchorage, without David. That, and Jennifer is spending the day with my Grandma, and I don't want to go without her either.
I'm thinking of taking the kids to the Marshland to watch all the birds that have made it their home. There is a really nice boardwalk that you can walk down with information boards all over the place talking about all the different birds that live there.
I could take them to the museum today, I've been wanting to go down there so I can sign us up for a family membership, and they've got a really cool display on old toys. And there's a lot of children's art work on display too. Link to the right
Or I could take them to the Imaginarium today, they always have great stuff for the kids to do, and the best part is that the kids are learning, and they are having so much fun, they don't realize it. Link to the right
We went to the zoo last weekend, for Mother's day. Got all the way there, and realized I didn't have my camera on me, so unfortuantely no pictures of that trip. Shame too, because we took the Snugli and I was walking around with my baby strapped to my chest and he was LOVING it!! Poor little guy got scared when he saw the elephant though. Loved the brown bears, got upset when we walked away. And of course, when we saw the mountain lion, which was laying right there like 3 feet away from us on the other side of the glass, he got all excited. Oh, did I mention that his second word was "kitty"? It's more like key-key, but he always says it when he's chasing our cat, Cooper, around. Still no "momma", go figure. So his vocabulary is up to 3 words, "Dada", "Hi", and "Key-Key". Stubborn little guy refuses to even try to say Momma. He gives me a look that says "Yeah, right. Why would I need to say your name, when all I have to do is fuss a little bit?" I think he tried to say Adam's name the other day, but I can't be sure.

So anyway, I'm going to go take my kids out to lunch, probably to Ihop because they are saying they want breakfast food and I refuse to ever eat at a Denny's again. (that's a whole other story for a whole other post!) And then I will figure out what I'm going to do with the kiddos. But this time, the camera is in the diaper bag, so I will take pictures!

Ciao!
