Chuck E. Cheese-ball

Jack's first (and possibly last) trip to Chuck E. Cheese for a friend's birthday party. Man, that place is scary. It's like Vegas for kids- bright lights, loud music, scantily clad women (the moms), people shoving coins into machines...

But Jack loved every minute of it. He got his own cup full of coins and walked around shaking it, seemingly oblivious to the games and rides. We convinced him to try the carousel and train, but really he just wanted to hold those beautiful golden coins in his little plastic cup.

We thought he would be afraid of Chuck (one of the older kids screamed hysterically and had to be taken outside when he showed up), but Jack ran right up to him and bit him on the paw. That's my boy.
