A Six-Foot Tall Mouse!!! Eek!

This week we went to Chuck E. Cheese for the first time! It was a blast! A group of about 25 moms & countless kids showed up for lunch on Monday to eat pizza and play games.


Of course, Peter can't eat pizza with his allergies so I was kind of worried. But they had an All-You-Can-Eat Salad Bar that had lots of fruit, cut up ham & chicken, hard-boiled eggs, and quite a few other things that he could eat. He had a full plate of food before heading out to play! Yay!


I only got $1 worth of tokens. Everything is new to Peter and he doesn't even need the tokens. He is perfectly happy turning the steering wheels on games and pushing the glowing change return buttons.


I couldn't resist trying the Whack-a-Mole game though. All the games there were kid-sized and a lot came up to Peter's waist. It was perfect. I am so going there more! We started the game and I tried to get Peter to hit the Mole's on the head. He missed a lot, but had a great time!


His favorite thing was to ride in the different cars. He liked to get in and sit in the driver's seat and turn the wheels.


He also kept gravitating towards skeeball. One of the machines was broken and kept releasing more balls. Peter is obsessed with any kind of ball right now so he just wanted to grab the balls and run around the room throwing them at people. ACK!


He was starting to get tired though. The lunch ran right into naptime for Peter so he was rubbing his eyes and starting to act up.


Before we left I sat Peter down for a "Picture Booth" game. It took our picture then printed it out like a drawing. I thought it came out pretty good!


Just as I was clearing our table and packing up my bag Chuck E Cheese came out! Lots of the kids were excited and jumping up and down and doing a dance with him. But when Chuck came up to Peter he just lost it. A giant mouse coming after him was just too much for a tired toddler to take!


We packed our bags and on our ride home Peter fell asleep.
