The power of a paper ticket.....

Well, Ben and Maggie are now into their last two weeks on Summer and since Adventure Club is over, they are officially on vacation. I have been giving them the option of what they want to do every day and of course that means that Ben comes up with the ideas and Maggie just goes along with it. On Sunday, we went roller skating-which means, Ben roller skated, Maggie played the game machines and I read my book!!!!

They love to play the machines because when they win, it spits out tickets that they can cash in to get prizes. We did more of the same on Monday, because the choice was Chuck-e-Cheese, a place that we hadn't been to for 5 years (luckily). It has few redeeming qualities for a parent but lots of noise, junk food and stimulation for the kids, including more of those wonderful paper tickets that can be cashed in for a minimal prize!!!

Good job they are not on vacation that often!!!!
