Birthday Dinner

Ella got her wish, a Birthday dinner at Chuck e Cheese with her cousins. Last Spring her Uncle Pete talked her dad into taking the kids there for dinner.  Ella loved it and talked about it all the time.  It all started with this tunnel. The night they went Benji would not let her go up into the tunnel in fear she would never get down or come out on her own. From that day on she would talk about how when she got older (4) she could and would go up into the tunnel.  For those of you who have not been fortunate enough to go (sarcasm), there is a tunnel just big enough for kids, along the ceiling.

The first thing Ella wanted to do when she got there was to climb up into the tunnel. Yep, look at that face, one minute in she decided she did NOT like the tunnel and never returned all night. 

Benji's fear came true...this is Cooper in the tunnel, loving it and NOT  willing to come down.

Taunting us

Aidan saves the day and goes in to get Coop.

Back home  to end the day with birthday cake. Happy Birthday Ella Grace!
