My Favorite Kiddie Crew

                                      With Ate Raizza and my fave kiddie crew

It was through mommypracticality's post that I was able to read the different summer activities that our kids may try this vacation.  I had a lot to choose from, taekwondo, swimming, singing, acting workshop, football, culinary, arts, dancing but the number one activity that caught my attention was Mcdonald's kiddie crew. Why? Because when I was still in college, it was my dream to be  working at Mcdo as one of their crew. Ang babaw no? Gustong gusto ko talaga maging working student para I have my own money to spend and not depend on my allowance lang, but my parents did not allow me to, kasi they can provide for me  daw (which in fairness, totoo naman). Peg ko talaga mag work sa kanila kasi parang ang gagaling nila with time management and ang people skills nila, winner.

My husband, then boyfriend, used to eat at Mcdonald's a lot and notice that every summertime, a lot of kids were working with them. They were so cute in their uniforms, imitating what the older crew is doing, that we agreed that when we will have a kid of our own, we will enroll our kid in their workshop.

Fast forward to present, reading that post reminded me of what I wanted for my kid to experience. Last Monday, after work, Hubby and I went to McDonald's SM Masinag and enrolled Wyeth for the Batch 3 Kiddie Crew Workshop. The Batch 3 schedule will run for 5 days, from April 7 to 11, with the last day as their graduation day.

We paid P595 pesos with the following inclusions, 1 pc. t-shirt, 1 pc. toque hat, 1 pc. apron, 1 pc. red baseball cap, 1 pc. sling bag, button pins, everyday snacks and P500 worth of GC to be given during the graduation day.  So, parang we did not pay P595, dahil sa mga freebies and GC pa lang, sulit na sulit na e.

Yesterday was Wyeth's first day. We were not able to accompany him, so we let his Yaya and Tita accompany him to Mcdonald's for his 2 pm to 4 pm shift.  Nag bilin ako to take a lot of photos for us to see when we get home. Kakatuwa to see Wyeth in uniform and from the look on his face, mukhang nag enjoy ang batang makulit sa 1st day niya.

I am happy that Wyeth enjoyed the 1st day of this workshop.  At least he is being productive during his vacation with the chance of meeting new friends and not just watching tv throughout the day.

I will try to update you if possible, of what they will be doing for the next 4 days.  Good thing that Wednesday is a holiday, we will get to observe him that day. For those who got interested, their workshop will run until May I think.  Just try to inquire with the branch nearest you, coz they might be among the participating branches for the 2014 McDonald's Kiddie Crew.
