Clyde's 10th Birthday Party!

Oddly enough, I'm going to start out this post talking about Lucy :)

Clyde wanted to have his party at Chuck E Cheese this year.  We haven't been there in years.  Clyde has, with friends, but the rest of us haven't...especially my sweet hyper-dairy-allergic Lucy.

She LOVES ChuckECheese.  And when she was only moderately allergic we took her there all the time and just brought her food.  Stephen and I decided she's at an age where we should give her the option to come if she wanted and warn her that she'd have to be very careful, wash her hands alot, and assume that there is cheese on her hands at all times...no touching the face.  She cheerfully decided to attend.  We were nervous, but I'm happy to say it went very smoothly for her!!

Now, on to Clydie :)

Clyde, five of his best friends, and several of their siblings started out the evening spending tokens to their hearts' content...

Will and Clyde competing in a pirate game... notice their stance here....they look so intense and SO BIG!!

Land taking a gamble...

The four girls playing ski ball...


Land watches McKellan marvel as tickets JUST keep rolling out...

Clyde and Pierce on the virtual roller coaster...

Clyde and William playing a reaction time sort of game....

Pierce and Mr Matt playing a shooting game...

Clyde being the fruit ninja....

Drew practicing some mad ski ball moves!

William proudly carrying off his prize while a nearby boy smiles approvingly...

We forgot to tell the people at Chuck E Cheese not to come out and do that embarrassing show, but the boys handled it admirably....

I was totally surprised that Clyde cooperated with this request...

And here are his friends being totally game, when they ask them to get up and dance...

Clyde got to get in the ticket blaster!  He was pretty pumped about that :)

Here are the boys at the ticket-spending counter...

This year, instead of a cake, Clyde wanted a big bowl of Whopper's malt balls :)
You'll notice when I ask him to smile, he either makes a crazy face or does this sort of frozen looking half smile :)

Thankful for my unusually big-hearted boy!  Thankful he's got such unusually big-hearted friends!
