The kid turned 10 Sunday. We arranged a birthday party at a place called Incredible Pizza (spoiler - it's not). There is a big buffet of cheap pizza, pasta, salad and desserts. The big attraction is the adjacent enormous arcade, with every kind of flashing, jangling, shaking electronic game you could imagine. The children wanted to finish eating and get there as fast as possible. Ellie decided that the most efficient and funniest way was to shove her whole ice cream cone in her mouth.
More arcade kid craziness. I took this while my granddaughter and a friend from the birthday party were waiting in line. Someone took a lot of care with the design - note the mirrored back wall and the hanging colored fluorescent tubes. The ride in the center-left is a combination of a mini roller coaster and what in this country is called a Tilt-A-Whirl. Ellie liked that one so much she went on it twice.
The kid just rang the bell on whatever it was she was playing. Might have been skee ball but there were so many amusements I'm not sure. Wasn't it be nice to be able to feel like that?
Ellie in action at the air hockey table at the birthday party Saturday. I love the look on her face. She flitted from one amusement to another until her game credit card ran out. Of course, she then demanded mine.
