Chuck E. Cheese with Hudson

I took the girls to Springfield one afternoon after Ainsley got out of school and met Thom, Jamie, and Hudson at Chuck E. Cheese for Hudson and Lily's birthday.  The girls were so excited to meet Hudson and play some games.

We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves, and the kids enjoyed running around like little hooligans.  Somehow, Ainsley hit the jackpot on a game while no one was looking.  She was one excited little girl with all those tickets!

I don't know any of these people in the next picture.  They're surely not my child and nephew climbing up the skee ball game.....

Lily was in pretty good spirits....

until Chuck E. Cheese showed up, and then the party was over.  She refused to peek out of her fingers and wouldn't let go of my hand.  She was NOT a fan of the mouse!

The kids picked out some awesome whistles and tattoos as their prizes, and I'm still trying to figure out why parents keep taking their kids to somewhere that hands out whistles as prizes...
