We promised Chloe that we would take her out for a special day just Mom and Dad and Chloe before the baby comes. We gave her some options of things to do and she chose to go to Pirate Island and to go see the movie How to Train Your Dragon. It was such a fun day for all of us. I love to see her get so excited about things and it was nice to watch her try so hard to be good for a whole week so that she would be able to go. This was our first trip to Pirate Island (and our last for a while...it was a little expensive) and it was so much fun. We thought it would be just like going to Chucky Cheese, but we were so wrong....It was so much BETTER!!!! It is like walking into a ride at Disneyland! You can't see anything inside before you open the big wooden doors, but once you open them you are in a whole different world. There are skeletons and all the workers are dressed like pirates. The dining area has trees with lights that are supposed to be lightning bugs, murals of the sky, a pirate ship with canons that fire and you can hear the captain calling out orders while you eat. 
The pizza and breadsticks were delicious! We had so much fun eating and hanging out together.
We got 25 tokens with our food and thought that would be plenty for Chloe to have a good time with, and while Andy was teaching her how to play Ski Ball a man came up and put about 200 more tokens in Andy's hands and told Chloe to tell her mom and dad thanks for bringing her to Pirate Island. We assume he was one of the owners. This however meant that we had a lot of tokens to play with, so we all had a lot of fun. The only games I played were Ski Ball and Whac-a-Mole since I am too pregnant to do much else at the moment. 
Andy and Chloe played a lot of games. Chloe loved riding the motorcycle game and almost beat Andy at Air Hockey....almost! 
We ended up with just over 300 tickets for her to trade in for prizes. She chose a pirate sword and eye patch, a stick on tatoo and roll of smarties. Next we were off to the theater to see the movie. Andy and I were not especially excited to see it, but we were very pleasantly surprised by how good it actually was. Chloe sat through pretty much the whole movie and I am sure she will be telling everyone all about it for a long time. We were all pretty much exhausted by the time we got home, but I am so glad that we got to spend this special day with just her before she becomes a "Big Sister".
