Today started out as a somewhat boring day for the boys and I. We had a few short errands
to run, but nothing else very exciting planned. In fact, the highlight of Owen's day
prior to lunch was riding Sandy, the free horse at the super market.
Thrilling...I know. But he actually loves it.
Little did he know that just a few doors down from the grocery store was a place that would
blow his little toddler mind. A place none other than Chuck E. Cheese.
Now typically I steer clear of this place as there are always far too many crazy kids running
around for my liking. Trying to keep up after my boys on top of that does not sound like
my idea of fun. But as we walked past and Owen caught a glimpse of the blinking lights, I
noticed that the place was nearly empty. Since we had no other pressing plans, I decided
to give it a try. I figured Owen would have a blast, and boy did he ever!
He would start one game, then before it was even finished run over to something else that caught his attention. My job was to follow behind him, finish his games and claim his tickets (which by the way we put to good use snatching up a 3" frisbee and a banana laffy taffy). He was so excited he could barely sit still to eat lunch.
Even Joe had a great time. He and I helped out Owen with the games and even found a
few that fit him perfectly. And what's better than pizza for lunch?
I was pleasantly surprised with what a great time we had. Aside from a minor meltdown
when it was time to leave, it was a lot of fun. Watching how excited the boys got made it
all that more enjoyable for me.
I'm sorry Sandy, but I think you've been replaced.
