Chuck E Cheese

After a long day/week, we decided to have a fun family date at Chuck E Cheese, a fun pizza place with mini rides and arcade games. Jimmy loved the games and while Amelia prefered the rides.

Jimmy hit the jackpot at a SpongeBob Squarepants game, inserting one token and pushing a button. Out came the tickets. They kept coming and coming and were piling up on the floor! When they finally stopped coming out, Jimmy tore them off and brought them back to Mom and Dad. The chain of tickets trailed behind him. Amelia, in her excitement for Jimmy, kept stepping on the tickets and hindered his progress.

Amelia really liked the rides. Her favorite being a high top shoe shaped one. She brought me over to a large light up high top shoe shaped basket ball game and proceeded to climb up into the hole where the balls come out. She said she wanted a ride! I think she was too short to see what the ride was all about. I had her get out and put in a token to show her what it did. Out came the basketballs. She tried and tried to shoot them at the hoop, but again height was an issue. I lifted her up and held her over the hoop so she could drop the balls in (she missed.)

Jonathan enjoyed a toddler area with stairs to climb and a platform area with slide attached. He even learned to go down the stairs backward (for safety) I was really impressed. Going down stairs will be very important as our new condo will have 2 flights.
