Oh My Lawn! Chuckie!!!

I'm wondering how many of my readers have been to Chuckie Cheese before. How I didn't know of the level of insanity that this wonderful place creates I'll never know, but I found out tonight, let me tell ya! ;-) Our great friends, the Thirys invited us to go to Chuckie's to celebrate both their son Jack and their son Charlie's 4th and 2th birthdays. We were so excited to go! They are such a fantastic family. We love them all to pieces. So, to go to this party was a no-brainer. Plus, my only experience of Chuckie was when Madie and Noah were very small and the place was nearly empty when we went with Pete's sister's family in WI. Tonight was the "true" taste of Chuckie though. I told Pete as we were driving home that I should've taken a short video to show those of you who have never experienced the Chuck, the reality of what it's like going there. It was P.A.C.K.E.D. Not just packed with little letters. Packed with periods in between the letters, packed. I couldn't believe it! Livie got a little overwhelmed by the noise and amount of kids, but Madie and Noah really enjoyed it a lot.




When we first got there and found the party table for us, they gave each of the kids a cup of tokens, so we took them out to play. Livie found Barney and was very excited! He's a dinosaur and that's all that matters to her.




There was this HUGE tunnely thing that went up to the ceiling and Madie and Noah loved that. Noah especially. He liked being in the car. You might be able to see his eyes peeking at us.




Then the girls tried out the little merry-go-round. Livie liked that one a lot too.

Here is the Thiry's oldest, Emma. She's Madie's age and is a sweetie. Never got a picture of Tess, who is Noah's age. It was hard trying to keep track of kids and tokens, and take pictures at the same time.

Here are Madie and Noah. They played in this for quite a while at first. That is, until they discover they could play games and get tickets. Then it was all about the tickets. We collected over 300 and they got some small little trinkets at the prize store. Very fun!

Here's Livie riding a horse. She and Madie both did this and really enjoyed it!

After they played for a while, we went back to the party table for pizza and cake. Here's Chuckie talking to all the birthday tables. There were about 8 bday parties going on.

This gives you a glimpse of how packed it was. Just imagine 7 more tables to my right and 2 more to my left, then expand it longways. There you have it! ;-) Oh, and did I mention I had to wade through this crowd to get Noah a hot dog, because he doesn't like pizza?! Ornery!!

Here are the happy kids!

Here's Charlie, the birthday boy, with his dad. :-)

And, sweet Jack, the other bday boy! You could tell he loved EVERY minute!!! He was so cute. Even little Charlie was dancing to the music. :-)

Chuckie posed for pictures with anyone who wanted them, so Madie got in there.

So did Noah. He even gave him a high five. :-) It was a busy, crazy night, but lots and lots of fun too. We were so happy to celebrate two fantastic little boys' birthdays. It was a great night!
