Chuck E Cheese

July 30th

I did something that I didn't think I would ever do.

I took my boys to Chuck E Cheese's.

I have resisted for 9 years!!

Really though, my boys never really cared about it.

Until recently.

Scott kept seeing commercials about it

and advertisements on the computer for it.

And then one of his best buddies went there 

and told Scott all about it.

And then I was desperate to find something 

for us to do inside away from the outside Florida heat.  

So we went.

And had such a good time!!!

Sage, who is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts, 

had cheese pizza.  

Scott had french fries.  

He seriously would eat french fries for 

breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

And snack. 

Neither boy was crazy about the weird, 

robotic Chuck E. Cheese.

This was as close as Scott would get to him.

So, the human Chuck E Cheese in costume

walked around with a sign that said, 

"Follow me to win free tickets!"

Most of the kids followed Chuck E Cheese. 

(Scott did.  Sage did not).

The kids had to do the 'Hokey Pokey' with

Chuck E Cheese.  Scott is all the way in the back.

He was soooo pumped!

Then they had all the kids sit down.  

I wondered how they were going to give tickets

to all the kids.  

They threw them up in the air and let the kids

fight over them as they flew to the ground!!

I was shocked that Scott made it out of the pile 

of kids with about 10 tickets! 

What an evil look Sage is giving me!

He didn't want to stop playing games

for a picture.

He just loved everything!!

This was their favorite game.

Mine too.

It was addicting.

Look at this sweet smile. 

Most of you know this little ride.

You get in, buckle your seat belt,

and it rocks back and forth ever so slowly.

Now look at this terrified face.

This truck was crazy.

You get in, there is No seat belt, and 

it goes up and sideways pretty high.

It scared Scott too death.

He is holding on for dear life saying, 

"I don't like this!  There's no seat belt!
There's no seat belt!  I don't like this!"

And I.was.cracking.up.

Bad mom!

I seriously was laughing so hard that I 

had tears coming down my cheeks.  

Gotta love air hockey.

So we stayed for 3 hours!  I love how there is only one entrance and exit.

I also love how they stamp everyone in your party with the same numbers, and they

check your numbers when you leave to make sure you all match.

We will definitely make it back one day!
