This morning we took a little road trip over to the San Tan Village in Gilbert. According to the map, it was supposed to take us 20 minutes to get there. We were there in less than 10 and that was a good thing. While you would think that it would be easy to find a food court in a mall, its not. The malls down here are laid out in such a way that they consist of several blocks on all sides of the road.
So we get there and we go the way wrong way ending up on the wrong side of the mall entirely. After driving around though we learned the locations of a bunch of stores. Yeah for us, not so much for Dan though. Anyway, we finally found the food court and headed inside. Its a good sized food court and they had moved all of the tables and chairs off to the sides. In the center there was 3 big rugs laid out to for a T-shape with a isle going down the middle. They also had a big red house with a mail box in the front. The kids were fascinated with the mailbox and kept taking the letters out. In our welcome kit there was a paper that we could use to write a letter to Persephone (the master of ceremonies) and/or Webster the Warthog (the mascot).
Once the party so to speak started with sang some songs and then the mail was read. We then sang the songs that were requested by the kids. We sang the wheels on the bus, head and shoulders, jingle bells and a few others. Then it was time for the guest speaker. Today we learned about Tuscon. They had a guy bring in a tortoise and also a python's skin. That was pretty if I do say so myself.
It was hard to hear over noise of all the kids and the microphone wasn't very good at all. It sounded like a bunch of mumbling for an hour. But it was fun seeing all the little kids up and dancing and singing. Hayden and Phedora didn't seem all that into it. But they said they had a good time and want to go back. We will give it another try on the 25th. When we will be travelling to the ranches of Wickenburg. I snapped a couple of pics today at the mall. So here ya go!
