Dinner's On Us

May 23
When you get married you know that you will have to combine 'traditions' or make your own. One tradition that Adam was accustomed to celebrating as a kid was that on your birthday, you got to choose what you wanted for dinner. To this day his mom still upholds that tradition and does dinner for the birthday child.

So we have decided to do the same for our children as it is one that we can do for years to come. It is a nice time to get out as a family or in Skylar's case, an excuse to cook keilbasa and rice. But Kamden opted for a different choice. He didn't actually care what was for dinner he just anticipated where he would go. You see when I was in Florida in April Kamden went to a birthday party for his cousin Jaiden. And every morning that I was gone he said, "Chuck E. Cheese, today?" So we decided to take him to Chuck E. Cheese Today. He thinks that is the whole name of the place.

Normally I do not particularly prefer to go to this place and neither does Adam since he spends many a days on the rooftop fixing the ac. But on this day it was all for our bear and boy, did I get into it with him.

Literally, right into the tube with him. It was the only way that he was willing to go inside and fully enjoy the experience. I really had a lot of fun with each of them. They think it is great to see mommy crawl around up there. I will say it is brutal on the knees though.

Though Adam was not willing to go in the tubes, he did have fun with us. He enjoyed playing the games with the kids and trying to earn tickets.

All in all, it was a fun afternoon and it definitely beat trying to get them to sit still and behave well enough in a sit down ice cream place. Hope you had fun at Chuck E. Cheese Today.

"They ate and drank with great joy in the presence of the Lord that day."
