Last Sunday we went to Sam's Club on Erie Blvd. When the one in Clay closed last year suddenly, it actually made me a little sad...Todd and I had gone there together since we moved in, buying funny things in bulk, a washer, and even our first camera to document Adam. Todd had told me going there with me was the first time in his whole life he liked shopping for anything...I dunno, it had it's own weird romance I guess!
We let Adam walk around on his own for a while and he was in his glory. Zooming down aisles and even trying to sneak into between the stacks before we stopped him. Once we got to the fridge part, there were too many people and we had to put him a cart, but before that, I can still picture his grin as he tasted freedom.
We started out "late" so it was after 2:30pm when we left and tried to figure out where to eat. Both Red Lobster and Olive Garden lots were full (Butler customers baby!) and I suggested we try the new CiCi's. $5 for salad, pizza, pasta and desert. Adam was $3 and included his drink. Which he enjoyed his Hi-C but Abbey liked her taste so much, she flipped out to have more. Adam ate his piece of pizza...meanwhile Abbey stole one off of my plate, loved the pasta and couldn't get enough brownie. (The deserts WERE really good).
The food was OK...kind of like decent cafeteria food, but we got our money's worth. But the kids LOVED it here. Some worker put on too loud music and more and more kids came in. Adam was so excited I had to put him in a high chair as he couldn't stay in his seat when his Daddy went to the pizza bar. He started dancing in that high chair while Abbey devoured her mac and cheese pizza. His Daddy let him run to the arcade area, where he walked around touching everything. When we left, he had an awful fit. I've never seen him like that I had to carry him to the car. He just loved all the lights and big kids (Adam is always more excited b big kids than toddlers like him). If it were just me and Todd, i don't think we'd go back. But the kids just loved it and for that, the price was right. But we realize unleashing Adam on Chuck E. Cheese will be wild!!
Exhausted, they both actually slept in the car!

Oh my goodness...he would love Chuck E. Cheese. I don't think it is as good as it was when we were kids. But, the girls like to go there.
