Chuck E. Cheese's!

Peter didn't have a friend birthday party this year, but we told him he could take 1 friend and choose a special outing.  He chose his friend Simon and Chuck E. Cheese's!  We went today since Casey was off work and of course he didn't want to miss a chance to go to Chuck E. Cheese's.

The only other time we have been to CEC was for Esther's 6th birthday.  We went on a weekday then as well and went right when they opened.  We decided that was a good plan to repeat, and we were happy to have the whole place to ourselves for about an hour.  That meant no waiting, no chaos, and lots of free tickets since the machines all spit out tickets when they are turned on in the morning! 

Posing with the Big Mouse himself!  (Simon was busy playing a game at the time)

We had an early lunch, and by then it was getting busier, so we headed home so the boys could play at home for a while.

Simon got Peter this cool Lego set, an ice cream truck, and a Pez dispenser.  They had fun putting the Lego set together (ok, actually Casey did it) and then playing with it for a while before we took Simon home.

Peter also tried out his new bike this afternoon!
