Chuck E Cheeses

On Monday Ava and I made the 1 1/2 hour trip to Waco to visit some old and dear friends. We met up with Crystal and her 2 yr old son Cameron (they actually live in Waco), Brittany and her 2 yr old son Troy (Georgetown), Tanna (& Brylee in her belly), and Laura and her 4 1/2 mo. old son Caleb (both from Arlington). We had grand intentions of catching up and visiting- but with all of us having kids, we didn't get that much time to talk. We fed the kids, then scarfed down our own food, then chased around the little ones in different directions, trying to keep them happy with games before loading up and heading home. We didn't even get any pictures of us all together. :(

I was only able to catch a few of Ava in action. Her favorite ride was a giant horse that galloped and jumped in relation to a video game in front of her. It was obviously made for bigger kids, but she loved it!! It was whipping her around, but she was laughing and had the BIGGEST grin on her face!! I couldn't take a picture because I had to keep a death grip on her. ;) The girl is going to love the scariest rides when she gets older.

Here is Ava in her other favorite ride. She loved pretending to drive.

Cameron is teaching her to play skee ball....
"Do just like me Ava...raise the ball in your right hand and throw!"
Good job Ava! Look at all those tickets!

I hope we get to all meet up again soon! Maybe next time we will actually be able to visit!
