Chuck E Cheese

I decided to take the boys on a little outing today to Chuck E. Cheese. Jackson has been wanting to go somewhere fun, and I thought this would be a special treat.

We arrived at 10:30 and there was hardly a crowd. It was so nice! The boys enjoyed playing the video games and really enjoyed playing the ones that gave out tickets.

Jackson kept talking about the time he went with Joshua and Caleb for his birthday and won "190" (really 117) tickets when he broke the machine. I couldn't believe he remembered this but he did. He even showed us the game that he won all those tickets on last time! It was cute!

Philip had a hard time remembering to roll the skee ball underhanded! 

Jackson was really good at this game. He made it in several high-value slots multiple times,

Jackson loved playing the Guitar Hero game.

Philip enjoyed dancing....until

He saw Chuck E. Cheese! He is not a fan and was ready to go after seeing him on stage. 

We were able to distract him with the Star Wars pod racing game. It was a hit.

As was the "Ticket Taker" machine!

After counting our tickets, we went to the counter for a special treat. I was sure they would want a plastic bug but both insisted on a box of Nerds. Really? With all the Halloween candy we have at home, they wanted Nerds! Oh well!

As we were leaving, Jackson started questioning me on how come the Tennessee Chuck E. Cheese looks just like the Georgia one. When I said it was because they were brothers, twin brothers, he then questioned why brothers live in different states instead of together. He is one smart cookie!

After Chuck E. Cheese, we went to the mall for lunch and to run a few errands. We had to stop at the Apple store where the boys played with the new IPad minis - I think it was the highlight of their day!
