Where a Kid Can Be a Kid!

I'm going to start this post off by saying Never Ever go to Chuck-e-Cheese on a Saturday night! It was a mad house! There were so many bodies packed into that place the air was almost edible it was so thick! But... If you go any other time you need to bring this coupon.

Pretty self explanatory why it's so amazing! This time we went wild and got this coupon times 3 so every one had 100 tokens each. It blew their minds! They kept coming to sit down because they thought they used all their tickets. And I would load them up again. One time Josh was so stunned he asked "Are you sure about this?".

Then they got down to business. I would go ahead and say this was the most successful trip to Chuck-e-Cheese we have taken.

Cashing in his tickets!

Total score. I was so proud!

We even made it out with a giant Tootsie Roll pillow! What 8 year old didn't want one of these?

New Years!

2009 went out with a bang! We sent out the old year and brought in the new with some sparklers.

And pots and pans! My mom was more excited then anyone! She makes me so happy! It's just not a party without her!

Then the next day we spender some much needed quality time with the St. George nephews at Chuck-e-Cheese! Where else?!

Indy and Ocho, cruising in a monster truck.

Indy and Owen's licenses. I would have loved these when I was little. My sister and I were always making fake drivers licenses and credit cards to fill our fake purchases! Just preparing to be the professional shoppers we are now.

Awesome!

Ocho redeeming his 93 tickets!

Indy with his 85, don't you worry he later found 17 in his pocket! Score!

Cute boys.

Then we played with the whole family at Redd's baptism! Ita great to be 8!

And yes only half of my siblings have had children! Good grief! ;)

Chuck-e-Cheese!

Who doesn't have the best childhood memories at Chuck-e-Cheese?! I know I do, and one of them includes my friend who is not my cousin with her other cousin... Did you follow? ha ha

Anyway I get to relive those same fantastic memories now!

Josh and Gracie just making some memories!! It is so funny to see the intensity in little kids trying to earn as many tickets as the machines will spew out!

Josh has gotten this system down... And I have figured out a little bit of the Chuck-e-Cheese magic myself... You can go up and ask for coupons... So instead of paying almost $50 for 100 tokens, you can ask for the $15 coupon, you buy 40 tokens and get 60 free.... Total score!

Josh's tickets.... The kid wastes no time in just getting to it!

Picking out the treasures! What a great place!
