Juicy!

This past Saturday, I threw a birthday party for my cousin’s only daughter.   I was debating whether we should celebrate her 10th year in this crazy world at Chucky Cheese’s or at Color Me Mine.  Either she can be at a place “where a kid can be a kid” or at a place where her artistic side can be challenged.

We decided on Chucky Cheese’s.  My husband thought he could be a kid. 

It’s been so many years since I’ve been there.  It’s changed.  They now have a lady at the entrance checking you in.  Every child gets a sticker.  The point of doing that, I have no clue. 

I forgot how expensive arcades can get.  For a large pizza, four sodas, and 160 tokens, it costed $40.  I suppose that’s not too bad if every token is worth a quarter each.  For a party of 10, 160 tokens was clearly not enough.  So we ordered 2 more pizza packages, plus another 80 tokens for $95.  560 tokens.  That’s an aweful lot of tokens.  But it lasted us all day.  I think of all the kids that were there, my husband had the most fun.

I wish I would have known this, but did you know that Chucky Cheese’s has a special Tokens for Grades program?  If every one of the kids that attended this party brought their report cards, they could have gotten free tokens for every good grade they earned!  Sure would have saved me the trouble of purchasing extra tokens for everyone!  But heck, there’s always next time.

So next time you decide to bring your kids to Chucky Cheese’s, ask them about their Tokens for Grades promotion.
