Chuck E. Cheese's

Drew takes a ride with Bob the Builder as Mikayla tries to climb on as well (the ride wasn't moving)!
Watching Drew play this game made me think we might have a soccer player on our hands...he made about five goals!
Mikayla loves riding with Clifford!
Mikayla and Drew ride the jet ski ride together! Don't they look like professionals?
Daddy helps as Drew and Mikayla drive a car!
Mikayla takes a break from her pizza to check out the other kids!
Last night for dinner, we took Drew and Mikayla to Chuck E. Cheese's. Mikayla has been asking to go for the last two weeks! We haven't been there since July, and since they both had a very good week at daycare and school (Drew) we decided to take them. Drew fell asleep on the way, but Mikayla screamed "Chuck E. Cheese, Chuck E. Cheese" as soon as we pulled in the parking lot! When I woke Drew up to get him out of the van, I had to remind him that we were in a parking lot just to keep him from running to the door! They were both very excited to be there, and of course the first thing they wanted to do once we arrived was play. Drew had even told me before we left to go that he would play first while we waited on the food. They patiently waited while we ordered and got their tokens. Then they were off, Mikayla needed a little help from mom of course (daddy went ahead and fixed his salad). Drew went straight for the tunnels and slides. He didn't even ask for a token the whole first hour we were there because he was so busy on the slide and eating! Mikayla is still too little for the big slide, although Drew did try to help her up once. They managed to get her up to the second platform, then she wanted down. Drew was upset by this because he was excited about being the big brother and being able to help her. I had to explain to him that she would be big enough in another year or so! Once Craig finished with his salad, he took over with Mikayla and I fixed my salad. While I was eating my salad, our pizza came. Drew and Mikayla came over and each had one slice of pizza before they were off again. They played a game of air hockey against each other, slid down the slides (they do have a smaller slide for Mikayla in the toddler zone), and played ski ball, and many other games. We finally got them out of there a little after nine! What is it about places like that...the children can go forever, but it doesn't take long for us adults to wear out!
