Kids Being Kids Again

Thanks to the rollicking good time we had at Ken's birthday, Luke had long since determined to have his next birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. 

So the kids were able to be kids, and the parents were able to accompany their kids (under the pretext of being supportive) so that they could spend an hour shooting basketballs or playing skee-ball. For real though, we had entire families show up.

Luke had his perfect birthday, where he got to eat pizza and cupcakes and be called up on stage to dance with ChuckE (Derek went with him, and both of them stood there like statues the whole time). And he vaguely acknowledged his guests as they came and went and occasionally brought a pile of tickets to his dad, but for the most part he was a one-man-whirlwind, attacking those games with gusto.

(Also, this was by far the easiest party I have ever thrown. Win-win!)
