Beau's birthday wish was to go to Chuck the Cheese, well actually he wanted to have a birthday party there but I managed to talk him out of that insanity! So, despite having seen other parents reduced to tears at the mere mention of The house of Rat*, we promised we would take him this weekend and today was the day. I will admit that Simon and I both turned a little pale when we saw how full the car park was but we pressed on undeterred, like we had any choice with these 3 in the back seat squealing "Chuck E. Cheese!"

The all important exchanging of tickets for plastic crap. Kudos for the Assistant for her patience as they slowly, slowly made their choices, did I say sloooowly.
I feared it would be an afternoon of torture but actually, despite the noise levels and the crowd, we all had a great time and most importantly it was exactly what the birthday boy wanted to do so a definite win.
