September 7, 1991: Went to Lincoln to a kid's pizza place for Dane's birthday.
September 8, 1991: Dinner at Nancy's for Dane's birthday."
Oh, yes...Chuck E. Cheese's. That palace of delight for children and chamber of horrors for adults. The pizza was so-so, but the hot sandwiches were pretty good. Someone gave me the hint to figure out how long you wanted to be there, and then plan your arrival time so that the place was closing the same time you wanted to bug out. That way it was the mean Chuck E. Cheese people that were making your little darlings leave, not Mom or Dad. I found it a good strategy after watching kids being dragged kicking and screaming out the door at times other than closing time.
I recall we had a grand time at Dane's party, no kicking nor screaming. Dane was a darling as usual and there were balloons and the mechanical singing animals and the ball pit and all kinds of fun. I do not remember the dinner at Nancy's the next day, however.
The photo is from late 1991 or early 1992, so pretty close. Can't believe Mitch was sitting nicely on Grandma's lap and not looking overly stressed about it. Look at the tummy on that boy.
