It was going to be a busy day today!
We started our day with Parker's birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Our little buddy was turning three! Time sure does fly!
The kids all had a great time riding the little rides and playing all the games. Reagan and Jillian spent a lot of time together up in the climbing tubes. It was so cute. They would just peek out of the little windows every once in a while!
Parker was really into the basketball this time. And most of the kids really loved the skee ball.
They broke for some lunch of pizza, fruit, veggies and of course cup cakes! YUM! LOL!
It was a great party for a great little guy!
This evening, we were seeing Jake Johannsen, right here in Youngstown! We were pumped! We had a group of 18 going! We did a little pre-party with snacks and drinks at Ray and Jenny's. We had such a great time!
The show was supposed to be at the new Hotel California in Austintown, but they didn't open on time, so they moved the show over to Crest Lanes in Niles. WOW, what a place that was! It was barely standing! The room in the back where the show was held, was really small and very dingy. We got out of the cars and Ron said "welcome to the rape and stab." We were howling. You did feel like something bad was going to happen.
The show itself was great and Jake had a field day making fun of the venue! He is always a HOOT! We just love him.
After the show, we got to have our picture with him and talk with him a bit. Needless to say, he probably won't be coming back to Youngstown again anytime soon. We'll go back to seeing him a Pick Wick in Cleveland.
To end the night, we decided to head over to the new Mahoning Valley Racino. They had just opened the weekend before. It's a super nice place, but VERY small! We had fun checking everything out.
Busy, but FUN day!
