Classic Fun Center/Charlies Birthday Party

Fall Break 2012. Two days off of school, plus weekend. Determined to "do something" besides sit at home. A friend from the neighborhood needed a gift certificate for a birthday party to Classic Fun Center used before it expired. So I planned to go with another neighborhood friend over fall break. Charlie's birthday was 2 weeks away, so we called it "Charlie's birthday party". He hasn't had a birthday party yet, so hmm, this was it! The party package included:

SKATING admission & rental

(We ordered a pizza & drinks) But we had our own Table, plates, cups, etc and a host to take care of us.

ICE CREAM

BALLOONS, A CARD, SONG REQUEST, 100 TICKETS, GAME TOKENS, and a few other things---> FREE=AWESOME! Best birthday ever!

I did rent this walker/skater helper for my kids. They have NEVER been roller skating! What! Duhh, They didn't know how to just put on the skates and go! Ash & Sarah ended up spending a lot of time on their knees, which meant some crazy bruises the next day! Charlie tried to skate, and didn't like it, so he went back to his scooter-SMART MOVE to bring that! The kids enjoyed taking time riding the scooter around the rink. The music was good, there were some games they played, and a few videos for the kids to watch. I really enjoyed the trip to Classic Fun Center. The girls got a hand at roller skating toward the end!

My new MUST-DO list with the kids- #1 teach them the Hokey Pokey #2 Show them the Thriller music video & dance!

The boys!

Game time! Tickets baby!

It was a fun trip! I almost look forward to going there again with the kids, shh, dont' tell the kids, but momma has to go skating next time! It was something new, and cheap (that time) for us to try! PS-Most of the little toys/trinkets the kids purchased with their tickets are probably broken or gone.

Important Birthdays

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss-Sorry, look sideways. I couldn't figure out how to rotate the pix......

We did a few activities that day that had to do with Dr. Seuss books. The pix is inspired from the Cat in the Hat. We did something with the books 10 Apples up on Top, and One Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.
