Where a kid can be a kid! We took a drive
today to meet Julie and Molly at Chuck E. Cheese. We had a
blast. The kids ran and played, we ate cheap expensive pizza
and I got to chat with another grownup! Yay! :) I also got to
hold Molly, a lot! She likes me (and other random strangers :)
). Lex’s favorite activity was the “pipes in the sky” and Eve
loved the little merry-go-round. Every time she heard the
merry-go-round music play she ran over and wanted to climb on.
As soon as the ride ended she said “more, more!” I loved the
fact that everything cost just one token and neither of my kids
fully understand the “put money in” concept yet :) A good time
was had by all! Both kids fell asleep in the car (Eve before we
even left the parking lot!) and we sat in the garage for half
hour after getting home while they continued to sleep. Then I
moved Eve in to her bed and she slept for another hour! Lex is
already asking to go back :)

and Eve riding in the fire truck. Lex was there too, until I
put a token in and made the ride go, then he hoped off and ran
away. Eve enjoyed the ride anyway.

Not a
great picture but here is Eve’s favorite ride. She held on with
both hands and grinned :)

Lex,
climbing to the pipes in the sky. He climbed right up there but
it took him a long time to venture into the pipes. At one point
I asked if he knew that he could go in there and he said yes
but the speakers in the pipes are too loud. Eventually he got
brave and had a great time! On the way home he told me they
turned the music down in the speakers so it was ok to go in
then.

Julie
and Molly. Molly took a little while to warm up, but then she
loved me! She is a super cuddly baby :)

favorite Calvin face :)
