say cheeeeese!

we took rhiannon to our new local chuck-e-cheese pizza parlor for her birthday. i was pretty excited because i grew up in san jose, where we had the greatest pizza parlor on the planet - chuck-e-cheese. it had a fun house, characters that wandered around, a real stage with performances, a water show, some video games and things, and the best pizza ever. even grown-ups liked to go there because the booths were plush and there was a real stage with real performers. now that we have franchised america, chuck-e's is a disappointment. it is more like a cafeteria that has styrofoam pizza and an arcade! i am sure the kids had a blast, the photos are evidence of that, but they haven't asked to go back yet...
