How Wonderland Family Fun Day at Macy's and Wonderland from
Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet can inspire everyone in the family!

I am one of
six. Yes, six. And although I am not a mother myself, I sometimes feel like it.
I know that after getting the kids out of bed, making sure Cheerios are
finished, teeth are brushed, and pants are on, there is still a job to do. We
must entertain for the day. We try to engage our kids (or brothers and sisters)
in something educational, beneficial, and fun (and hopefully not make a mess
along the way).

So what is
the solution?

Wonderland Family
Fun Day at Macy's
.

This
Saturday Macy's downtown Minneapolis hosts an afternoon of FREE FUN.

Inspired by
this week's performance of Canada's Royal Winnipeg Ballet in Wonderland,
Macy's will entertain families with a tea party, face painting, balloon
twisting, crafts, special treats, and autograph signing! Real characters from
the show will be there to take pictures with, so make sure to bring your
camera! Let your kids indulge their naturally creative sides, while being
exposed to world-class art and culture through the playful, captivating production
of Wonderland!

But that's not
all!

If you and
your kids are one of the first 20 customers to purchase $100 in the kids
department (hello new coat and mittens!), you will receive a FREE 4-pack of tickets for this
Sunday's matinee show of Wonderland-the fantastical dance reinterpretation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland at the
Orpheum Theatre, which will entertain the whole family for another
afternoon! 

And, if you
already have tickets to this weekend's performance, make sure to bring them to Macy's Family Fun Day! If you show them with a purchase of
$10 or more, you get a free Macy's star cookie!

So there you
have it. Cheerios are finished, teeth are brushed, pants are on, and our job
just got a little easier. Now, we just have to get everyone in the car.
