Birthday Party at Chuck-e-Cheese

A friend of Nathan invited us to go to his birthday party at Chuch-e-Cheese. My kids were so excited to go because, according to them, they had never been. It's probably been 6 wonderful years since we've been, but I took them. They just don't remember.

Gavin could not understand the concept of tokens. He wanted all his tokens and wanted to put them all in a machine all at once. When I realized what he was doing, I limited him to one token at a time and he had a melt down. You'd have thought I was beating the child by the way he acted. Maybe I should have been beating the child. Actually, I wouldn't do that, it would just make things worse and make me mad. So, I chose to ignore him and all the stares from the parents. And we had a great time. Well, except for Gavin.


Here is the group of friends that went. Most of the kids are friends from the swim team, so we spent a lot of time together over the last 7 weeks.


This is Nathan with his best friend. The two were on swim team together. And they live just around the corner from us, so we would see them almost everyday on the bike ride to and from school.
