    Where do you take your kids for free that they just totally love?

    I took Teryn to the pet shop yesterday and they let her hold a mouse and a rat. Mommy ignored the warning about a certain bird and got big, hard! Drew blood even, my knuckle is sore today and I broke the scab off......drats. But Teryn had fun watching Mom get bit by a bird...hardy har har.

    I also belong to the Aquarium, so now the visits are free, and she just loves that too, seeing all the fishies.

    I really had to figure out what you were saying here. For a minute there, I thought you were a man who gets turned on by birds!

    As for your question, My dad always took me to K-mart.

    We have a membership that gives us unlimited access to our local kid-friendly museums and other attractions. It includes the National Museum of Science and Technology, the National Aviation Museum and the Central Experimental Farm. They are terrific hands-on places for kids to check out all kinds of cool things.

    About an hour's drive away, we also like to make field trips to the Hershey Chocolate Factory and go on the tour of the factory. An hour or so in the other direction we have Upper Canada Village which is a touristy kind of place that takes you back to a time and place about a century ago.

    When the kids were smaller, they loved the indoor playground at the local mall... I liked it because we could go there in any kind of weather and didn't have to wash mud out of their clothes after.

    Love, Scully

    At least you now know to pay attention to warnings about biting birds!

    I feel your pain. Literally. I once ignored a sign by a parrot in a pet store that warned people not to pick it up. But it sat there, head cocked at me, holding out it's leg just begging me to let it step onto my arm. So I let it. It pulled at my hair, bit my shoulder and gave me a nasty bruise, bit every button off my coat, and wouldn't let go when I tried to put it back on it's perch. I looked down the aisle toward an employee of the store, and she just shook her head and walked away. I finally rid myself of the bird which proceeded to walk again to the edge of it's perch and put it's foot out all innocent-like to entice it's next victim. I learned my lesson.
