A few Fridays ago I did the unthinkable. Jess was invited to sing at a women’s banquet at church and Ella and I were given some time for a Daddy/Daughter date.
The unthinkable was that I decided to risk my sanity and take my daughter to Chuck E Cheeses for our date!
It was quite an adventure and if you watched my Twitter feeds from the night, you know that I narrowly escaped a few breakdowns and eventually made it home safe and sound having had a wonderful time with my girl!
After spending most of the evening in the play-area, Ella eventually wandered into the video-game area and played a few ticket-producing games resulting in about 80-some tickets to prove our skill at the ridiculous games we played.
We presented our tickets at the counter and Ella’s choice to get a plastic beetle-bug and a packet of Pop Rocks were not-so-quickly made.
We returned to the truck, Pop-Rocks and beetle in hand and after getting belted back in, I presented Ella with her first-ever mouth full of Pop-Rocks. Those moments I also managed to capture for you, the viewing public:
Stev,
Thank you for sharing Ella’s first experience with “Pop Rocks” candy! SO precious…and those EYES of hers…SO AWESOME and dear!!
Love,
Mom
Awesome to watch Ella enjoy this first time experience! She is so expressive. I love it and her! She is benefiting from a daddy who is creative and adventurous! I grabbed this video to share on my facebook page.
