The Pizza Store

We went to a really cool pizza place for Joe's birthday. It's like a more fun Chucky Cheese with much better food. Joe LOVED it. (We only stayed in the little kid area, but there were all sorts of skee ball, mini bowling and video games and rides in the big kid area.) They had these climbing structures, a "construction zone" with big blocks, a kitchen area, train sets, kid movies playing and a water table.

.

Luke loved playing with the construction gloves.
.

The twins enjoyed their chicken nuggets and green peppers. Another awesome feature of this place was the kid sized handwashing stations all over.

Joe's nutritious meal of Mac and Cheese, Cheese pizza and a blue slushie. (As I see it, there are three of the four food groups represented there, and the slushy was berry flavor. That has to count for something, right?"
.

The twins had so much fun in the middle of the train table together. They had these cute little conductor vests for them to put on, too.
.

Joe just wanted to make the longest train that he could. There was one annoying kid that kept trying to get into the middle of the table with the twins. It was a little tight and the twins got very frustrated with him.

Clearly, Joe was not excited about leaving.

When we got home, Joe kept asking when we would go back. We told him that we would go when his cousin Kolbe came to visit. He kept saying over and over, "I'm going to the pizza store with my friend Kolbe!"

Unbeknownst to us, Joe had the camera in his carseat with him. We had several pictures just like this. Note the little boy knees at the bottom of the shot.
