Chuckie Cheese's

During the school year we set some goals for the kids, with the ultimate reward being a trip to Chuckie Cheese's. Zac learned 300 sight words (his goal was only 150....which I thought, at the time, was unobtainable. When will I learn to stop underestimating my children?) Lexi actually earned her reward last year but we're a year late in paying up. She was a good sport about it though.

Zac's always liked Monster Trucks and he finally got a chance to "drive" one.

Lexi loved the water squirter game because she could get lots of tickets there. And we all know how exciting it is to trade in a wad of tickets for a cheap plastic trinket.

Garrett kept singing the Chuckie Cheese song "Chuckie Cheese's where a kid can be a kid!" The twins probably don't remember ever going to CC's before, they've only seen the commercials on PBS so they were super excited.

Tyson enjoyed playing just about everyone in air hockey. The puck kept getting stuck though and I think the workers were getting irritated at us. Good thing we went on a Monday afternoon when we were practically the only people there.

Drake loved this robot ride. He rode it many, many times.

I was totally awesome at this game. Tyson thinks there was probably an age limit, but I think that Chuckie Cheese's is a place where "a grownup can be a kid!"


Finally a picture with all 4 children taking a ride together.


You may be wondering why we were all wearing jackets.....well, it's because the weather's all screwy this week and it was actually snowing. Snowing! UGGGGGHHHH! I thought we were through with that!
