The Deliv’s Playground
DP had to go out of town this weekned and WC wanted to do something fun since he couldn’t go. I thought it would be nice to take WC and Giggles to Chuck E Cheese. It always sounds like a good idea when we plan it. Then we get there and it’s another story. The place was packed and the only tables that were empty were reserved. I understand that you can have parties there but wow! I mean the idea was to get pizza and then let the boys play. It took over 30 minutes to find a table and then it was too small so we atleast got a break for a while until a bigger one was available. I guess it could have been worse. But hey we got a table eventually and the kids ate and all should have been happy. However you know life is rarely smooth. The kids did have fun I have to say. Giggles had some moments of fustration. He was so tired and wanted to run around and play but it was just me and a friend who brought her daughter. We had to take turns checking on the kids and sitting at the table with the food. I mean who wants to trust people to not steal your things or spike your drinks? I guess the better thing would have been to feed the boys first and then go. I think the next time we will do that and take in a small backpack for the diapers and wipes. That would make more sense then I can run around after the kids and let them play with less stress and hassel. It was crazy and my friend that came was nice to have but we really didn’t get to talk because we were worried about the kids and too busy constantly chasing after them. I think it’s a reminder of why I don’t really take the boys to the park but have people here and spend so much time in our yard. It’s hard to talk and hang out with friends when you are constantly worried about your kids. I have to say the Play Place (indoor kids playground) is a lot better since it’s smaller and more confined too. It is more of a way to let run off energy then spend money on games. They do have a small game section but it’s more of a playground than anything else. I also think the stress level is so much smaller. The down side is according to my mother we all get sick after going. I know the last we did but we were just starting to get sick and didn’t know it. It was one of the colds that we just passed back and forth for 2 months. We would all take turns for a week being sick then better for a week or two and start over again. So, the last time it wasn’t because of going but I am not ready to put it to the test. Oh well, maybe I will learn from my mistakes and the next trip to The Devil’s Playground will go smooth after all once again we have coins left to use another day.
