Family Fun Van

Yesterday Clayton and I decided to do something a little different with Andrew. I'd heard of this program through a friend's blog and decided to check it out. I had no idea what to expect, but was really surprised when I got there. The program is called Family Fun Van. It's a free program for kids 0-5 years old put on through the Mesa United Way. It was an hour and a half long and they do it four days a week in different locations each day in Mesa. They had open play for the first half hour. Then they provided a snack and story time. They had rec time, which was basically singing and dancing time, and then arts and craft time. They even sent every single child home with a book to read.

The whole object of the program is to provide an opportunity for parent/child interaction and to prepare each child to be kindergarten ready. We are going to start taking Andrew every week if we can. If anyone is interested in going with us, let us know. It runs from 10a-11:30a. Tues it's at a park near Power and Broadway. Wed it's at an elementary school near Ellsworth and Baseline. We'll be going Wed. next week because I've got a doc's appt. that afternoon.

I wish I had gotten pictures, but with my pregnancy brain and all, I left the camera in the car. Next week maybe!
