Somehow she thought of Chuck E. Cheese, and thus it was immediately decided that skeeball and pizza was definitely the way to go. So after some catching up on Hollywood dirt we headed to the same place half the 6 year olds in Hickory were also heading. We both remember going there (well same name, different location of course) when we were little and getting 10 tokens or so which we had to use very thoughtfully in order to play all the games we wanted. So, we decided seeing as how we now have jobs that we were going to splurge on the tokens and we bought 100 for the 3 of us. It was glorious! You could just keep playing skeeball over and over and over and never even pay attention to how many tokens you had left!
We did play a few games in addition to skeeball, although we continually went back to that wonderful game when we were tired of the other ones. Brandy playing this weird game that we never could figure out what the point was...We also had fun cashing in the tickets. While the poor 6 year olds were being told by their parents they only had enough tickets to get one thing we were rattling off about 10 things. You can now get cotton candy with the tickets, which is exceptionally wonderful, and we each have a little squeezy stress ball thing for our office. Plus we got some bracelets for ourselves and Nikile (who we found out only got 4 tokens the last time she went to Chuck E. Cheese - poor child). One thing about playing kids games when you are not a kid is that the height and length of stuff it of a bit, so our backs were a bit sore. But it was well worth it.
(no we did not eat that entire cookie cake alone - we had taken it to scrapbooking the day before where a major dent was made in its delicious-ness)
