Where a kid can be a kid.

Last Monday, we met up with the Ferows at every mom's, sitter's, caretaker's nightmare...that's right, Chuck E. Cheese. What is it about that monster-size rat and using all mom and dad's money to play games only to win tickets for prizes that aren't worth the amount of tickets is "cost" to "buy" them that appeal to kids of all ages and sizes....

I guess it is all the laughs, excitement, fun and pizza that makes it worth it. Being that the Ferows and our family includes kiddos that get a kick out of that sort of fun, I figured one night wouldn't hurt us! :)

Well, Juliana got herself a horse. Eight months after being a Texan, she finally did it! :) She must have spent $5 in Chuck coins to play this horse jockey game. Even though she didn't quite understand how this thing worked, she had a BLAST getting tousled around. It made me laugh. :)

I think this picture explains it all..... (courtesy of daddy.) My Jack man. He was EVERYWHERE!!! He "caught" a ride on this carousel - on other kid's quarters....that's right, he would climb on this MOVING carousel while another child was enjoying their ride. It became quite the thing to do with all of the kids....and we didn't mind so much being that our table was right next to it. Jack had a fun time while Trish and I picked his cup up off of the floor by random games (numerous times!), caught him AFTER he chased an employee in the back room because he wanted the ball in her hand, stopped him from "unmasking" Chuck E. and grabbed him while he ran past the "kid security guard" in front. I am pretty sure Jack is NOT allowed back...at least until he is 23.

Jacie Madison. She loves her some pizza. I think the count was up to four. That's right. Four pieces ALL BY HERSELF! She definitely doesn't pass up food. She even tried to sneak her brother's pieces. Now the only thing I am wondering is....why is she so tiny?

Kids LOVE cotton candy!!! Jack, Mia, Juliana and Madi took a break for some sugah.

Even daddy indulged.

Now why is it Jeremiah, Juliana and Jack look scared to death of this carnival favorite?!?!?! :)
