Where a kid can be a kid

Okay, so we decided to do something fun for Alex's birthday. What could we do? Amusement Park? Zoo? Children's museum? Movie? Still too little for those places. Where else was there but our neighborhood Chuck E Cheese. Going to that place brought back memories. There was a Chuck E Cheese back in Murray (Salt Lake) that I remember going to for a birthday party. Except back then this place was called something else. I can't remember now. But I think I had pizza there with almond slices on it. Odd. Very odd.
I think Alex enjoyed Chuck E Cheese's. He rode on the sedate rides like "Clifford the Big Red Dog" and played a game where he had to whack a shark. And he got to watch Erin and I play Ski-Ball. By the end of the evening we had enough tickets to leave with a slinky for Alex and two tootsie rolls. I highly recommend it.
