Thanks to Heero, the youngest of the six grandkids, my life is complete. Yes, because, he had his fourth birthday yesterday, I am able to say that, after a lifetime of deprivation I wasn't even aware of, Pa-pa and I have now experienced Chuck E. Cheese's.
Think of a quiet, romantic candlelight dinner for two. Then imagine its diametrical opposite, and you have Chuck E. Cheese, a combination pizza eatery and amusement arcade. Book a date there, as Heero's parents did, and you have two hours to immerse yourself and your guests in a glitzy, rollicking birthday party that includes pizza, ice cream and cake, balloons, arcade "play passes" for the kids, and--most importantly--a guest appearance by the Head Cheese himself.
Heero learned about Chuck E. Cheese's from the daycare grapevine. After an enthusiastic review of the place by a playmate, he told his mama that's where he wanted to go, and the rest is history. For Pa-pa and me, it was worth the two-hour one-way drive to see all the kids and grandkids and watch them have so much fun.
Here, let me show you just a few scenes from the evening:

The birthday boy tries to feed some colored balls to his frog friend.
Teebo (Dad) gives him some pointers on his basketball shot.
Pizza time brings all the kids back to the table.
Heero prepares to blow out his candles.
All the kids gather for a shot with Chuck E. Cheese:
Heero's baby cousin, Sooby, Heero, Bootsie, Pooh, Zoomie, and brother Beenie.
Happy 4th birthday, Heero!
