We cannot stand to eat the food at Chuck's place so we made a trip to Pizza Hut first and then on to the fun and games. For anyone who has never had the pleasure of going to Chuck E. Cheese's I'll explain a little bit about the premise: this is an arcade type atmosphere with all types of games, car and roller coaster simulations, pin ball, ball pitches etc. Tokens are purchased and used to play the games and many award tickets for various point levels. The idea is to accumulate as many tickets as possible so you can cash them in for prizes (like the ones you might get at the fair playing the same type games). CJ got the most points with over 900, Micah got 500 and Drake got 300. Drake preferred the car and ride simulations more than the games and you do not get tickets on those rides. However, they all accumulated enough to get the treasures they desired. I had played a few games and wound up with 64 points which I cashed in for mini tootsie pops and shared with everyone.
It really was a fun day and the boys had such a good time. They chattered and giggled away in the back seat all the way there and all the way home. They shared their tokens, were excited to show each other various games and features and played their hearts out on the indoor playground. Never a cross word.
We haven't forgotten Dakota and her hard work however, it has been more difficult to schedule time with her since she is so busy. Going into the 9th grade, counselor in training at 4H summer camp, 4H council presidential duties, volunteering to help Jessica White with her kindergarten class, volunteering to work on Aunt Sarah's house build with Habitat ... and the list goes on. We'll figure out something.
Keep up the good work guys. Grandma and Papaw are very proud of you!!!
