Chuck E Cheese and Family

Remember that Collin wanted to have his birthday party at Monkey Joe's, Chuck E Cheese, Gymnastics and then school?  He did have a party at school Friday and we went to Monkey Joe's yesterday for the big party.  Because Grandma H was in town, we thought it would be fun to have a very small family party at Chuck E Cheese.  Not bad for a birthday weekend to get 3 out of 4 requests PLUS have a block party.

Mimi, Pappy, and Grandma H joined us at Chuck E Cheese.  All of us had a great time playing with the games.  He did fantastic with the basketball but did not want to play it much because it did not give many tickets.  He quickly found out which games gave the most tickets and played those.  I was not sure at this point if he remembered that the tickets could be turned in for a prize but he was having fun doing it no matter the reason.  He did win the most tickets at one time (41).  Daddy did great at the basketball game.

We stopped long enough to eat pizza, sing Happy Birthday to him and then eat some cake.

We played a few more games before turning in the combined tickets.  The 258 tickets got him a "monster truck"...and a big smile. 

Daddy took Grandma H to the airport after dropping Collin and I off at the house.  Later, Alex and Ellie came over to play with his new toys, play outside and color.  What a great weekend.

Happy Birthday to my four-year-old!!!
