Let the Good Times Roll

While we were in the city yesterday we took Kylee to what turned out to be her favorite place ever, Chuck-E-Cheese. They have a play area just for toddlers. It has a pretty neat climber with slide, a couple video games, and several tot sized rides. Kylee's favorite was Clifford. She rode it over and over. Every time it stopped she shouted "All done!" and clapped. Then she immediately asked for more. Each time it would start again, she literally squealed in delight.

Kylee loved the music and danced the entire time we were there, even while eating her pizza. I wasn't sure if she would love the giant, singing puppets or be terrified of them. She loved them! When she spotted Chuck she ran to the stage and stared at him for a minute in awe. Then she climbed up on stage with him, danced around, and tried to shake his hand!

She's too young to get the concept of video games, but enjoyed pushing the buttons and LOVED putting the "pennies" in the machines. She also loved all the people there and made sure she said "hi" to everyone she saw. The employees apparently loved her too. Daddy won her 473 tickets, but the machine counter broke, and our ticket receipt just said 1. So, one of the employees hand wrote us a receipt and bumped the total up to 600 tickets! We took the receipt the prize counter and let her pick out some toys. Although the receipt said 600, the girl working the counter gave her 910 tickets worth of goodies "just because she's so cute!"







Since we only made it through the back half of the zoo Tuesday, we also took Kylee on a quick trip back to zoo. The main plan was to go to the Explorekeet Adventure so that she could feed the parrots up close (the parrots were her favorite at The Little River Zoo). Unfortunately, Explorekeet is being moved to the children's zoo and is closed until 2010. Boo! We were very disappointed but still had fun. Kylee's favorite this time around was the Meerkats. She kept trying to get daddy to put her in the pen with them.

I'll try to upload the rest of the Chuck-E-Cheese pictures and pics from both zoo trips the photo album sometime this week.
