Chuck E Cheese - Say Cheese!

My sweet Jason decided to take today and tomorrow off to by with me and the kids for the last two days of my spring break. We had grand plans to go to Charleston to eat seafood and celebrate our anniversary which is coming up next weekend. But alas, the best laid plans - well you know the rest - succumb to poverty. :-)

Instead we opted to head to Chuck E Cheese since it is too cold and wet to go the zoo and the children's museum is too expensive and Jake can't really enjoy it anyway. And, I had a coupon for Chuck E Cheese.

Let me say, Chuck E Cheese smells like the skating rink and definitely isn't known for it's pizza. That being said, Abby had a grand time collecting tickets, which she traded in for four - yes you read that right - four rings and a bracelet.

Mommy and Daddy played skee ball and rode a questionable motion ride. Let me say something about that experience: while Abby and I were at the water shooter game, a little boy came up and asked if he could play. I of course said yes, and he then thought that we were his family. He played that game with us, and when we went to get on the questionable motion ride, he followed, climbed into my lap and rode the ride with me. Jason and I kept looking around for his mom or dad because if that were my kid and I saw him in the lap of another mom, especially one I didn't know, I would be a little upset. We never saw her, and when the ride was over, he hopped down and went on his way. I guess that's one way to not have to use your tokens for a ride.

The photo booth was a hit - even though Jake didn't know what in the world was going on.
