Tuesday's Tots and Wee Ones: Chuck E. Cheese's? Summertime do? Or don't?

Hi Family, Friends, and Fans,

How is your week going?  Ours is off to a pretty good start!

Train Wreck Mommy took me (and Super S) on our first trip to Chuck E. Cheese's.  That's right.  You heard me right.  Chuck E. Cheese's.  You know that place, Where A Kid Can Be A Kid?  (Or a Tot Can Be A Tot!).  Most parents would probably avoid Chuck E. Cheese's (CEC) at all costs.  But not my Train Wreck Mommy!  She said Chuck E. Cheese's is a special place, and it is a summertime MUST.  What do you think?

CEC was her first job, and she said it was the BEST job.  Well, after visiting, I can see why!  So we met her friend S (a friend from high school that also worked with her a CEC back in the 1900s) and her daughter A.  Did y'all ride a horse to work, Mommy?

A and Chuck E.  I was weary of that guy at first!  Show off.

Umm, Mommy?  What is this?  Where is Chuck E.'s iPhone game?

A and "Auntie" S!

So... weather's nice today, no?  Ummm.  Awkward silence.  I can take you for a ride in that Chuck E. car?  If we leave now, the Moms might not notice!

I love this guy!  Hey, Chuck E.!  But I'm going to stay back here.  Safe distance.  By the way, Mommy wanted me to tell the readers that it is very hard for her to get good pics of a walking tot with her big ol' belly (aka Sadie's house), her bum leg, and while carrying a bag.  Excuses, I say!

Da*n things won't stay down.

Now I'm okay with getting a little closer to the big cheese (no pun intended).  Mommy said, "turn around Max so I can take a picture!" ... Umm, would YOU turn your back to this guy?

So yes, CEC is definitely a great place for Tots.  But what about Wee Ones?  I'd say they would still enjoy the colors, lights, and sounds!  I'm sure we will take Sadie here soon!

Finally ... a little fun, last but not least ...

A few weeks ago I started making faces (well more than faces, it involves hand gestures), and Mommy calls it "STRESS FACE."  She was finally able to capture a photo of some of it.  More to come!  What do you think?  Do you have a stress face?

So what do you think?  CEC on your MUST DO list this summer?  Or are you staying far away?  And what are you up to this week?  Don't forget to visit us at Mad About Town.
