The NEW San Tan Village Mall has arrived!

We just got home from an adventure-filled visit to the new mall that opened tonight 1.5 miles from our house. Fireworks, street bands, freebies, balloons for the kids... it was very exciting. Some of the highlights for us are the movie theatre and Paradise Bakery (located directly accross from the walmart, for those of you who know the area), the splash park and kids climbing area- which happens to be surrounded by all the mom favories- gymboree, children's place, payless, DQ, etc. and the pet store! It is an outdoor mall which is great for this time of year, but I can't imagine it being so great in the summer. We'll see. For now though we are excited to have so much so close! When we moved here four years ago we had to drive 6 miles to grocery shop- now we can Christmas shop around the corner!
