Family Gala, November 14, 2009


Alright, May is here to talk about the Family Gala on November 14th. There were activities for parents and their little ones. We had drumming, art-making, dancing, story telling, other entertainments, and of course amazing food. Most of the TACS helped out with the event. We made sure that everyone was bound to have a good night.

The highlight of the night was Mandy, Nancy, and I dressing up as Wild Things. I dressed up as KW, the monster with spaghetti looking hair. Boy, was it boiling hot inside the costume. It honestly felt like I was inside an oven. Plus, I had to dance and run around the museum the whole night. It got really hot. It was alright though, cause they let us take breaks whenever we needed to. The kids loved us. There were few that got scared. Some of them started crying. So I had to take off my mask to let them know I'm not a real monster. There were also some not-so-well behaved kids. The ones that tried to take off my mask and hit my stomach. But what made it all worth it were those good, adorable little kids that kept giving me the biggest hugs. I remember one little girl that kept coming up to me, and asking me if she can take me home. I didn't wanna break her heart, so I just said yes. She was really sad when I had to go.

That was such a good experience. I always brag to people that I got to be a Wild Thing for a night. I'm glad I did it.

Would I do it again? Probably not. It's one of those once in a lifetime thing. Haha.



Here's a picture of me as KW:
