Happy 2012!  Hope you all had a great holiday break.

We're going to the Alaska Museum of Natural History.  I'll be there at 11:30am(ish) on Thursday January 5th. 

If you haven't been there, it is a nice hands-on place for kids.  Lots of dinosaur bones and animals to look at.  You can bring a lunch or snack and eat there.  It is not as fancy as the Anchorage Museum, but it nice outing with free parking.

Sorry for the late post, we're slowly getting back to our usual schedule.   I hope some of you can make it this week.

Sorry for the very late post.  I hope some of you will come play outside with us this week.
We're going skating at Westchester lagoon on Thursday, 12/8 at 1pm. 

We usually eat lunch before we go, but will bring some snacks and hot drinks.  

In case you haven't been there, I usually park in the lot on W 15th, just past S Street.   My youngest rides in the stroller while I skate, so if you have little ones, that is a good way to bring them along too.  Also, if skating is not your thing, you could always come out to meet us and then take a walk or ski on the coastal trail. 

New folks are always welcome, so come on out and say hello!

Join us this Thursday for some fun in the snow.  We're going sledding at Kincaid!  Bring your favorite sled and meet us on the hill outside the chalet.  I believe the chalet will be open for warming up and restroom breaks. 

We'll be there by 2pm and will stay for at least an hour or more.

Hope to see some familiar or new friends!

Hey all!

We're going to try again to get to the Potter Marsh Boardwalk  We'll be there at 1pm for a walk and bird watching. It should be nice walk, even if we get more snow between now and then.

Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. Dogs are not allowed on the boardwalk. Parking is free and there are restrooms available in the parking lot.

We will just go east to the viewing deck at the end and hang out a bit.  If you get there a little late, head toward the hills.

See you there!

We are scheduled for October 6th at the Alaska Native Heritage Center from 11:00 to 1:15pm  Please try to arrive by 10:45am so we a can organize.

I selected Program 1 - Native Drumming and Dancing and Raven Tales for the movie.  We will also take a 30-45 guided walking tour of the village sites as well as complete an art project. 

It is $6 per person (adults and students) and children 4 and under are free. Please try to bring cash, as we are suppose to make one payment for the group.

I told them we will have about 30 people, so please mark your calendars and plan to join us!   

There will not be any food available for purchase in October, but we are welcome to bring our lunch and eat it after the program.

Bring a snack, dress for the weather and we'll see you then!

We're taking an Autumn walk around Taku Lake!  We will also get some play time in at the playground. 

We will meet at the Stormy Street entrance, near the playground.  We'll probably play for a bit then take a walk around the lake and back to the playground.

We'll be there rain or shine.  So, dress for the weather and get some fresh fall air with us!  Oh, rubber boots are great for the kids who like to get their toes wet in the lake.

See you there!
