Family Night, Play date and the 4th

On Tuesday nights we usually go to Chick-fil-a for "family night". So this week I was talking to him that morning while getting ready for work. I told him that we would go to Chick-fil-a after I got home if he was a good boy for Auntie Erica, and he said "nope, Hayden go CHUCK E CHEESE!!" So we decided to do family night at Chuck E Cheese and invited Kelly and Erica to come along. Those of you who don't know, Kelly is Court's cousin. Erica is his wife. (I'm sure you figured that out) They moved here from California a few years ago.
We had a blast. Here are some highlights.

Erica and I think the boys had more fun than Hayden
If it were up to Hayden this is the only thing he would have done all night
The "slot machine" This one gives out a lot of tickets
Look at my muscles
He found a phone
Riding the "roller coaster" with Mom. He really looks scared doesn't he?
Back to Bob
Playing basketball with the big boys

He got a lot of tickets and a lot of prizes. His favorite was the fun dip.

Just a few days earlier Hayden and I had gone to Chuck E Cheese for the first time for a play date with some friends. I got some cute pictures of him that day and can't help but post them.

Look how tall I am

Everyone did such fun things for the 4th. We did nothing. Hayden and I spent the day with Great Grandma and Aunt Sharon while Court went to work. That evening we decided that we wanted to try to do fireworks with Hayden. The closest ones were at the community college about 2 miles from our house. We could see them from our house without all the trees in the way. So, we drove down to be right in the action. We sat in the Target parking lot next to the stadium. There were too many people and we didn't want to be stuck in traffic getting home. Court thought it would be cool to sit on the roof of the car.

He had so much fun. At first he kept turning his head around when the second boom would go off. It was really funny. I covered his ears and then he got it a little better. When I tried to uncover them, he said "no mommy, hayden no like loud boom" Then we came home and had a bath cause it was so hot and I thought he would sleep better. I hadn't taken a tub picture in a long time, so I thought I would share. Is he not the cutest thing ever?
