Chuck E Cheese visit

Today was Lily's first visit to Chuck E Cheese's. She loved it! We went about 11:30 so we could eat a light lunch there too. They have several rides that are perfect for little ones. Her favorite was a little car that she "drove" while Chuck E sat in the passenger seat; it also takes your picture at one point. She probably rode this 6 times so we have several pictures; I'll try to scan them in and upload one or two later. There was also a Bob the Builder construction ride, a merry-go-round and a firetruck that she liked. She had a good time watching the other kids and the big-kid rides and games. She's definitely a good observer. There was certainly a lot more noise and activity than she is used to, but she seemed to like it all. She really enjoyed eating the cheesy breadsticks and watching the big screen tv's that showed Chuck E and his friends singing and dancing. She tapped her foot along to the beat several times. We took her up to the stage to see what she thought of the big Chuck E, and she seemed to really like him. Her eyes were really big, but she waved hi to him; of course, he's not a real character so it didn't interact with her at all. However, I hope this is a good sign for how she will act at Disney in a few weeks. This was a really fun way to spend some of our Saturday morning; I'm sure we'll return in the near future!
