Field Trips

I tried to fill up our last week before school started with various activities. The whole family went to Chuck E. Cheese. If you get there right when it opens, there are tickets attached to almost every machine from when they were reset. Then Seth was playing a game and the tickets wouldn't stop coming out. We told an employee and they fixed it, about 500 tickets later.

We ended up with over 900 tickets. The kids got this bowling set, along with lots of other junky toys.

We also went to Ethel M's with the Peerys, the Driscolls, and the Cucurus. It wasn't as fun or as educational as I remember it, but we each got a free candy. We walked around the cactus gardens and took some pictures.

Since Ethel M's didn't take long, we headed to Bellagio's Botanical Gardens. It had a huge Ferris Wheel and a glass house that caged colorful parakeets.

Later in the week, we had the neighborhood kids over to watch "Race to Witch Mountain" and we also went to Mission Hills Park, where they have cool Pirate Themed Water Features.
