Every Wednesday morning at 10:00 a.m., the Shops at Wiregrass, in Wesley Chapel, hosts a free kids oriented event (in hopes, I'm sure, that Mommy & Daddy do a little shopping while they're there!). While we don't normally make it (the outdoor shopping mall is about a thirty minute drive & our schedule already involves a LOT of commuting, lol!), Quintin awakened extra early this particular day & was a little whiney -- Mommy felt the urge to leave work behind & get some fresh air :-)
There were lots of fun activities to enjoy, including a drum class, basketball game, face painting, balloon artist, and fire engine. Quintin was feeling a little sick and was slow to join in the fun with the drums, but was soon playing with gusto! We next waited patiently in line to explore the fire engine, but the firefighter in full gear waiting to take Quintin on the tour proved too intimidating & Quintin would not get into the truck with him, lol. His favorite activity was throwing balls at the basketball themed bouncy, where we stayed until they packed it up :-) We also stood in a loooooong line for a balloon animal; Quintin asked for a pink elephant (the other kids were all getting bumble bees, so I'm not certain where he got this idea from, lol) and then took it to get a drink of water from the fountain :-D Just before leaving, we enjoyed the requisite ride on "Thomas," the Shop's small train -- what fun!
Thanks so much for the wonderful elephant! He lasted a really long time --a good thing, since my son was completely in love with him! We had a wonderful time and hope to return soon -- I know Quintin would be very excited to see you & your fabulous wares again!
