Chuck E Cheese 2015

"Mom, this place used to be so much bigger" (Jayna)
"No love, YOU have gotten so much bigger"

I think the last time we went to Chuck E. Cheese was May 2010 for my nieces' birthdays, but photos are from March 2010 when we celebrated Anthony's 6th birthday.

back when you were scared of that rat and even with Poppy guarding you, you look like you'd rather be anywhere else

back when you both had toothless smiles and baby faces, when anyone could pick you up and carry you around and when you weren't taller than any adults and when Uncle Mark was practically a baby himself ;-)

The kids had no school on the 19th for Parent Teacher conferences, mom had a Roanoke Dr Appointment and I had my first day off both jobs in over 3 weeks.  It was a perfect blend for a fun day together.  We went to the conference with Mr. Billy before heading to Roanoke for Grandma's 10am appointment.  We got there about 9:40am.  We thought CEC opened at 10 like the website said, but it was 11.  So we killed time at Walmart buying soccer equipment and Anthony a pair of swimtrunks in a bigger size that Walmart didn't have here in Lynchburg.  Then we headed back to CEC for their 11am opening.
I required the kidlets to do the sketch photo booth with me before letting them loose to enjoy their tokens.

Jayna played most the games and such, but her obvious favorite was anything that printed out a picture either on what she called "credit cards" or paper.
Anthony preferred the sports ones, but also enjoyed the shooting ones and pinball.

We stayed until about 12:30.  Then went to pick up Grandma.  Everyone was hungry so we went to a pizza and sub shop nearby.

The kids and I got pizza while mom got a sub.  Then we headed home!  After dropping mom off, we went to the local soccer store to buy the rest of Anthony's soccer gear.

At 6pm it was time for Adventure Club at the kids school.  It was just a small group this time, but they had so much fun!  The weekly topic was Healthy Hygiene.

Mrs. Melanie did the bible lesson

the hands on part of the bible story is a bowl of water, cup of pepper and cup of soap.

the pepper represented sin in our life while the soap represented Jesus and how he separates the sin (we added a little too much pepper, but you can see how the pepper goes to the side and the middle clears)

hand washing skills were tested with this lotion, then the kids were told to wash hands

when they came back we inspected their washing skills with the blue light!

After our lesson we had a snack and then learned a new and fun game called trees!
