First trip to Chuck E. Cheese
On Memorial Day we went to Corre's 6th birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Abby had never been to Chuck E. Cheese before and I had not been there is years and years. It has changed a lot since my last trip. They now stamp the hands of parents/kids on the way in and make sure you are leaving with the kid(s) you came in with. They have a section of mostly toddler games and rides and Abby really had fun going from one thing to the next. She was given a cup of tokens when we first arrived.

The birthday girl and her birthday cake. A friend of the family made the cake and it was very good. The funny thing was that the doll was inside the cake so when it was time to cut the cake, they pulled the doll out but she had no legs. Every kid's face just kind of froze for a minute until one kid broke the silence by saying "where did her legs go?". They quickly moved on once the cake was served. Since I do well to make plain cake or cupcakes, I was impressed with the time put in this cake!! I bought Abby's cake this year because she wanted a Dora the Explorer cake and I knew I was out of my league. :-)

Abby found it easiest to play this game by just getting up close and personal.



She loved the air hockey game in the toddler section. It was just her size.



She kept wanting to put the puck in the goal she was guarding. I love this age. The score means nothing.
