It seems to be customary in our family to celebrate our birthdays multiple times. Yesterday we once again celebrated Tim’s birthday, which was first celebrated on July 3. Yesterday we went to Chuck E Cheese. We did this last year as well. Quite by accident I wore the exact same shirt.
It was a smaller group this year, but that was okay. It meant more game tokens for ME! We sat by the scary animatronic creatures again.
Tim got presents from his Aunt Michele.
There were many ticket machines. I only played skee ball once. I did very poorly. Tara played one of the ticket machines like a crazed slot machine gambler. She was rewarded for her efforts with many nice prizes, including a pink necklace, earrings, and barrettes.
I’m flying home today, but I don’t have the flight numbers handy, so I won’t be publishing them. (Sorry, Kim.) I’m flying from Lincoln to Chicago to Baltimore.
Congrats on your haul, Tara! Happy birthday redux, Tim! Happy landings, Brad! (If you get in early enough, don’t forget those tickets in your desk at school – I don’t think anybody could use them…)
[Yea, those animatronic critters can make the hair on the nape of my neck stand up, too. Every adult's nightmare...]
Chicago!?! I’ll be in the city today – I should stop by the airports to see if I can find you.
/like Chicago has tiny airports…
What a delightful, scary time. I’m sorry to have missed the early gambling, since that’s my favorite part, but I’m glad you got to have some quality time with your family.
Maybe someone can buy you a new shirt for one of your many birthday celebrations.
Yay for 2nd birthdays!! But now I have the strong urge to play skeeball…it’s been too long for me, dang it!
Your picture made me laugh! But I gotta wonder…are there any true accidents…what are the odds you’d wear the same shirt (unless you only take 1 shirt to NE)…I wonder what magic powers the color orange represents for you?
And Happy traveling!! And may you end up in an earthly bed tonight that doesn’t have a lid!
oooooooooo…very grim thought, Pegster…I mean, the kind with the lid….
I will just keep CNN on all day.
I hope you made it home. I did not. I get to stay in Chicago for a one-night, no expense paid vacation. Stupid weather.
Oooo….Brad will be so jealous!
