Chunk N Chiez

My kiddos and I went on a play date last week to Chuck E. Cheese.  Eli loved it.  Kate was indifferent, but I think she liked all of the noises, lights, and such.  She was sitting in her Baby Bjorn, so she won't be pictured.  It's really tricky to get a picture of a little one who's strapped to me without being in the picture myself...  Anyway, it was a really fun trip.

Eli was rather fond of the Dino Dash.  There were two buttons:  run and jump.  He played well and thought it was really funny when the dino tripped over the stump...

Then he sat in the monster truck, which he was really excited about...until he was up on it.

As this child eats, breathes, and lives all that is Cars, the race car game was an obvious hit.  However, as he is two, it was a little tricky for him to reach the pedals or the steering wheel.  He liked it anyway.

Who doesn't like Ski Ball?  He was SO excited every time the ball went all the way up the slope and would "disappear."

This is the ABC version of Whack a Mole.  It was quite fun.

Bob the Builder took Eli for a ride on his backhoe...about five times.

Train + Barney = Really Cool

This was a really fun social outing.  It was the perfect rainy day play place.  Eli's been asking to go back to "Chunk N Chiez" at least once a day.  He has leftover tokens.  I don't see why not...

Lingering thought of the day:  Today I hemmed a bridesmaid's dress for a friend.  It was unexpectedly therapeutic.  I love to sit and have girl talk.  I love to sew.  That made for a really relaxing, yet productive, afternoon.
