Chucky Cheese

We've been promising Alex's we'd take him to Chucky Cheese all year. Finally, the last day of the year, his wish came true. He won (with Mark's help) 350 tickets. You'd think that would get him something good -- he won a Tonka (Hot Wheels size) tractor and penny toy. Penny toys are those toys worth less than a penny and break the first time you try to use them.

He had a lot of fun. He found my favorite place when I was a kiddie -- the ball pit.

We beat ducks together. He won.

We feed hungry hippos together. He won.

We even played skee ball together. He won.

Either I'm a loser or he's good at games.

Happy New Year, everyone.
