Chuck E Cheese

Feb 18th...

Today Cael, Averi and I met one of my new friends Eryn and her daughter Sonia at the Chuck E Cheese here in town. We had been trying to schedule a play date for a week or two now and we were finally able to make it work today. I hadn't been to a Chuck E Cheese in so long, that I wasn't sure if Cael was going to have anything to do, or if everything would be to big for him, but it was awesome! We sat in the toddler area that had a few coin rides and slide and stuff. Cael loves slides and he played on that thing forever! There was a big jungle gym that he wanted to go on, and I thought about it for a few minutes because it was the tunnely kind that you see at Burger King or McDonalds, but it was way up high, so if he were to get stuck or scared, I wouldn't be able to look at him through the windows. I eventually decided, why not? He really wanted to go on it and it ended in a big curly cue slide which he would love. So I took him over, took off his shoes and tried to explain to him that he would be on his own up there, but that I would follow his progress from the floor. Well to start this thing you had to climb up a series of platforms like a ladder, and it was surrounded by net so he had to do it on his own. I helped him get inside the net and that was it lol, he couldn't reach the very first platform. He just stared at me, and I stared at him back and finally said "Well, that was fun. Come on out bud" haha! He wasn't too heartbroken, he will be able to climb on that one soon enough.

We did have fun with everything else though and I can't wait to take the kids there again!!
