Coronado Mall
A few weekends ago I was tabling for BikeABQ at Coronado Mall. The event was focused on kids’ fitness, and so in addition to our ragtag bicycling outfit, there were people promoting exercise, dance, and even gardening.
There was a little dance troupe of about ten kids dancing around in various traditional costume, and they had some great facial expressions.
The boys in the troupe in general didn’t seem especially enthused to be dancing with icky girls, but when they were free from the risk of cooties, they hammed it up a bit.
The one little guy on the end in particular had some great facial expressions.
After the performance, the crowd milled around a bit. Next to me was a booth for the Rio Grande Community Farm, where Sara was helping kids plant seeds in ingenious little planters made from recycled newspaper. Lobo Lucy watched carefully.
Meanwhile, UNM mascot Lobo Louie was chatting it up with the ladies.
That wolf sure knows how to howl! Of course, he and I got into a bit of trouble with Mall Security when I started riding him around the mall on my Xtracycle. Though that didn’t stop the head of security from taking a picture for his kids with his phone.
