It's never too late..

There is an insurance company on our main street that I pass in the mornings on my way home from the pool. They have a billboard on which they post funny, inspirational or thought-provoking phrases. Yesterday the post was all three combined into one.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood.

I've spent some time in the last few days editing images from another outing to Chuck E Cheese (CEC) that was taken on Thursday afternoon. The original plan was for the girls to meet for our usual play date with the kids. Amy is in town so that seemed like a perfect plan. Until... noises from the guys started coming from all corners about being left out of all the fun. Okay, okay, since Don and Amy were here we decided to include them with the understanding that it won't happen every time! Zeus even joined us and had a good time.

I don't think there is enough fabric in the world to entice me into going to CEC on a Saturday afternoon. However, we have discovered that weekdays at 11:30 a.m. are actually quite pleasant and uncrowded. There is plenty of room for the little ones to enjoy the games without waiting or being run over by bigger kids. Also, that early there isn't the unmistakable smell of sweaty children. It is fairly quiet and the pizzas usually arrive before we are finished playing.

The guys had a nice time and got in their share of basketball games and skee ball. I will admit that it was nice to have them join us. The only problem that came up was what to do with the prize tickets. The guys were all opting for the cool helicopter that shoots missiles while the girls had their hearts set on the fancy tea set. No decisions were made. I have the voucher saved for the next trip out there.
