game junkies

Well I am sure that everyone knows by now that Gwen loves a little place called Chuck E. Cheeses, and I am beginning to think that she is not the only one pulling for game time there anymore. Harrison really likes running around there, and this last time decided that he is quite in love with his own reflection. James also enjoys a little game where he can shoot basketballs and the hoop moves just to make it a little more challenging. I don't mind him playing it either because then he is willing to go with us, and he wins all the tickets so the kids get a prize when we leave. I guess it is a win win all around.
The driving rides/games are also one of the perks of the kids day when we go there, Gwen is constantly asking if she can drive the motorcycles, cars, or whatever.
We took turns watching each kid, and James had it really easy with Gwen she just wanted to talk on this phone for a long time. (naturally she didn't want to do that while I was watching her)
I think that Harrison was expecting a little more out of this ride than he got, look at that disappointed little face, so sad.
And this one is ALWAYS a winner. Nothing beats the horse ride.
On your mark, get set, focus.......and GO!!! I asked her if she would look at me while this ride was going, and she said " not now mom, I am trying to ride." So sorry to interrupt.
I know that her eyes are totally red in this one, I couldn't quite fix them for this photo, but I had to add this one in, I am sure that Gwen would dance all day, everyday if there were only music playing all the time.
And just before we left she hopped on this star fighter game, you would think that she actually knew what she was doing with that joystick the way she is sitting. I think that maybe she needs to find a new outlet, one that doesn't include a video game arcade. Gotta love a little Chuck E. Cheeses every now and then, I know we do.

I have never been to Chucky E Cheese but I might have to take the kids one of these days. Looks like a lot of fun! Eric would love to ride that horse too.

What nice parents you and James are. We used to always take our kids to Chuck E. Cheese's but never buy tokens, the kids never had the patience to stay on anything for the duration of the ride so we'd just let them climb on, hang-out, and hop off! Only now are they realizing that tokens are a MUST for fun at an arcade venue!

p.s.---you are NOT allowed to move out of our ward boundaries, even if your new psycho neighbors do leave cigarette butts everywhere

I'm going to Chucky Cheese today. Thanks for the tip on that green worm. I'll just go straight to the horses, and then maybe the phone.
