Tuesday night the snow started coming down, around 6-8 inches expected. We all had cabin fever. With my husband laid off and just getting through the holidays, we haven’t made many trips out for fun lately. My husband came up with the brilliant idea to go to Chucky Cheese’s. Even though it was a school night and my oldest now attends public school, I couldn’t resist.We invited our brother and sister in law and their little boy and off we went.
The snow was already coming down and the roads were covered. While I clung to the dashboard, my husband and kids had a great time with the car sliding around the roads. When we got to the restaurant, the place was empty, maybe 3 other people besides the employees. It was heaven. Sophie was able to climb around without the fear of being knocked over by herds of stampeding children. It was so quiet that she wasn’t freaking out because of all of the loud sounds like usual. No one was looking at us trying to figure her out. It was a stress free night!
Sophie spent the first 20 minutes or so laying on her favorite “slide”, I got to play skee ball on the “slide” next to her. 
Then we just walked around from game to game exploring. She has always liked to sit in the cars, but her dad got her to ride the horse. She fell in love and rode it over and over, even petting it. One of her sisters dragged her into the tube, she also dragged her all around the tube until they finally found the slide to get down. It wasn’t one of Sophie’s favorites, but I had always wanted to see her up there.
We made it home after more donuts parking lot and sliding all over. We got 14 inches of snow that night and now the kids all have colds. We wont be leaving the house for a while.
I am so glad for that especially fun night out. I only wish I had brought a camera.
