Chuck E Cheese and The Park

My mom, Gav, and I had some good quality time with my nephews and neices over Spring Break. I absolutely love love love being with them. We missed the youngest one, Sela, because she had a fever virus, but maybe next time. So my mom kept the boys on Thursday night and decided to take Mattie and Millie with all of us to Chuck E Cheese. Chuck E Cheese is at a new location and so far has been an enjoyable experience for the money. Mom and I are club members (dorks) and we get good discounts. They also stamp everyone in your party so that no one gets out the door or kidnapped. Although, by the end of this particular trip to the Cheese I was hoping someone would kidnap me.

We started off having a lovely time and noticed that the crowd was a little heavier than usual, but with smiles, Mom, Gav, and I all took the giant leap into psycho ville. A million birthday parties and I am a worrier so I was keeping my eyes on 5 children at once. All was going well until I spot this one child climbing up the ski ball alley to place his ski ball in the 100 slot to get more points thus more tickets to get one thing of Pop Rocks for 100 tickets. Anyways...Ugh NO! The teacher came out in me, I tried so hard but I got the attention of an "Oh So Pleasant Chuck E Cheese employee" and said, "Hi could you say something to that child, we come here often and would like for this place to remain a nice place." Well he reluctantly walked over there and the child glared at me like he was going to come over there and body slam me. This made me even more mad. The child then turned around and threw the ski ball (Baseball size and hard) at the chute. It flew back and man for once I wished it would've knocked him out for that attitude. Instead he laughs and looks right at me. This all took my mom over the edge who said something again, but honestly without a parent watching this child what is an "Oh So Pleasant Chuck E Cheese employee" really gonna do. The kids had a great time so moving on.

My oldest nephew Hunter comes home with Gavin and I and we all decide to meet up tomorrow at Lefleurs Bluff State Park which is where the Natural Science Museum is. We meet up, boys and girls, and go the park and with the help of my sister Amelia we all had a pleasant time having an old school picnic with peanut butter and jelly instead of Chick Fil A. It was nice. Then we headed back to Nana's park which is in her neighborhood and had a private early Easter Egg hunt. My mom is so great, she put quarters in them and two of the eggs had $2. Wow!! Big deal trust me. Well my lucky little nephew who got the most tickets at The Cheese found both $2 dollar eggs. I think Uncle Gavin and I will take him to the casino on his 21st birthday. Lucky little man.

I had such a wonderful time being with my neices and nephews. I love them as if they were my own and would adopt them all in heartbeat.
