Today Audria and I took the boys to Chuck E. Cheese's and met up with Daina, Tricia, Sadie (Audria's niece), and Audria's aunt Jane and cousin Michael. I had not been to Chuck E. Cheese's since I was in elementary school. I remembered it being dark, sticky (from all the kids playing games while eating), and very loud. I was happy to see that the one we went to was bright and open! There were employees cleaning the playground and games the whole time we were there (everything in there was really clean)! I didn't notice the noise, so they must have done something to improve on that too. Another new feature is the "kid scan". They stamp you and your kids when you walk in the door. They have an employee monitoring the exit and to leave you have to hold your arm under the blacklight and the number on your arm has to match the number on the arm of the kid that you're trying to leave with. What a great safety measure!
Audria and I spent from 9:45am-2:00 pm following the boys around from game to game. We were able to get them to stop for a few minutes to eat pizza...but then it was back to the games! They both loved any game where they got to drive something (you didn't even have to stick a token in for Barrett...he just liked to use the steering wheel...it didn't matter if the screen wasn't doing anything!)
Audria and Sadie tried their hand at Dance Dance Revolution.
This was by far Barrett's favorite game. I think Audria played this game with him for a looooong time! All he had to do was hit the buttons and then it would shoot the balls up in the air (you were trying to get them in the frog's mouth when he opened his mouth).
The boys took good naps yesterday afternoon. When they woke up Barrett was singing a made up song about Chuck E. Cheese's. I have a feeling that they'll be asking to go back. I wouldn't mind going back some time...I had a lot of fun too!

That's somuch fun! I am so glad y'all were able to take the boys there and meeting up with Audria & her family! Sounds like a great day!
We LOVE CEC!!!! We get coupons through their membership club. I think David likes to go there more than the kids sometimes. :)
We had a Chuck E Cheese here when Ginger was little. There was an Elvis room with a 7 ft. lion dressed like Elvis and singing Elvis songs. We loved going in there while Ginger played the bowling game. We had one of her birthday parties there. Great memories. If only the food had been better back then, maybe it would still be in business here.
