Several hours later, after yawns and stretches, everyone was awake once again and talk of plans took place. We had yet to eat dinner and Jaelyn had energy to burn before we stuck her in the car for the 2 hour car ride home, the solution? Chuck E. Cheese! Jamie, detective that she is, scoped out some coupons online and after making sure everything was packed and in the car we were off!
We arrived and Jaelyn's eyes were as big as owls! The lights and sounds and masses of hoarding people made her eyes light up like a Christmas tree. We found a booth, ordered our food and tokens and were off to let Jaelyn play games and ride rides. She could barely contain herself! Her two favorite things were riding a horse for a racing game and dropping tokens in the slots of about any game or ride you can imagine! At some point, it was discussed that the adults seemed to be having more fun than Jaelyn, not that she wasn't having fun, but perhaps Dave and Busters may have been a better choice!
After devouring the delicious vittles and drowning it in carbonated goodness we were off to play yet more games and ride yet more rides. In the end, the adults (with Jaelyn's help of course!) scored her 700 tickets to redeem in prizes. By this time, my poor daughter was obviously over stimulated and looked like a happy zombie, ready for bed. Daddy picked out her prizes, a Chuck E. Cheese hat, which she now insists on wearing around the house ALL day and a balloon. Not bad.
We left Chuck E. Cheese and headed for home, Jaelyn did not fall asleep on the way home, but she didn't scream her head off either, so it was more or less a win. We had a wonderful weekend with my sister and I can't wait until next summer when we do it all over again!

Family Fun at Chuck E. Cheese!
