Chuck E Cheese

We went to Chuck E Cheese for the first time. We went for Draya's friend from daycare's birthday party. When you arrive they stamp glow under fluorescent light numbers on the kids and parents wrists so that people can't leave with children that don't belong with them. I guess that it's a nice security feature, odd but nice.
There are loads of games and little rides and such that you need tokens to play (the birthday hostess supplies some thankfully) and most everything spits out ticket that can be redeemed for 'prizes'. Draya and Daddy played a lot. Mommy sat with the grown-ups.
The pizza smelled great but tasted mediocre at best. The birthday cake was good.
There was a 'show' where all the kids were encouraged to participate (Draya didn't) and of course there was someone in a Chuck E Cheese mouse costume who leads all of the kids in a parade around the restaurant. Draya didn't like the mouse. She hid under the table.
We redeemed Draya's tickets for some little tattoos. She really liked those and has already had me put some on her arms.
All in all it was an okay experience but thanks to the giant mouse I don't think Draya will be asking to back any time soon. Mommy is okay with that. Although maybe their salad bar is better than their pizza.
We didn't take any pictures.
