Playtime Pizza
How do you get one of these? A 14 month old passed out in the car only seconds after being strapped in.....PlayTime Pizza is the answer! Playtime Pizza is the craziest most fun place to go if you want something to do in Little Rock indoors! Geez! SO like I said, last Sunday Seth and I wanted to take Elem somewhere fun to get him some good ole fashioned spoiling! I will post more on why we had to spoil him in the next post! But for now we will focus on the spoiling. And since it is about 103 degrees here every day and the humidity is something fierce, we decided we really wanted to do something indoors! We agreed on Little Rock's newest and funnest pizza place-Play Time Pizza. This place is so insane and crazy fun for kids, babies, adults, anybody!
It is located right in front of the Rave, and is gigantic!!! You go in and pay about 8 bucks for unlimited pizza, pasta, cookies, potatoes, etc. buffet. And then you can buy money on your card which you use on every game machine inside. Basically a chucky cheese in our day, but now just 100 times better. So inside you have the buffet, a free toddler area with big foam blocks they can run and jump and play on, several free rides, like the car you saw before, a free merry go round (mini), then about 350 arcade games, all the little kid ones downstairs and all the big kid (daddy) ones upstairs, a black light miniature golf, laser tag, mini bowling, and indoor go karts! Now do you see what I am meaning when I say crazy! And boy did Elem love it. And he didnt even do that much but run around like a mad man!
We got there when it opened at 10:30am which was the best decision we could have made. There were no lines for anything and we had the whole place to ourselves for about an hour. Please see the following pictures to see how our day went. There are sooo many pics, but it was so much fun! I had to capture all of it. So skip on through if you get sick of looking at little dude. I never get sick of looking at him. So these make me happy!
First stop-the red race car-which was the car he was in the video with. He loved this so much, I should look into getting him something like this for his next birthday!
And then onto the blue car. Which he loved equally as much.
Off to play his first official "arcade" game of the day-the popcorn game. Which he was fabulous at I might add! hehe.
Put in some time in the block area to work on his large motor skills. He knows mommy is always watching to see that he is actually learning something every where he goes. Good choice Elem Zane.
Time for the man to EAT! Pizza, mashed potatoes, pasta, and a cookie! Are you kidding me? Yes I let him have a cookie that day. Again, I will tell you why in my next post. :)
Again, knowing that mommy is watching and off to work on some small motor skills. Its not all play all the time around here people! You gotta pt in your time at the "school like" stations as well. Just like mommy told him-find something constructive that will make you smarter if ever the chance.
Uhmm...hello? Anybody in there?
FInally a chance to let it all loose.
Cecilia came along for the fun once she got her a good nap in. Here is Cecilia Dustin and Ali play the water squirt game. Elem is down there somewhere by Ali. If you can find him.
Anybody else notice how hard it is to get a good pic of you and your man once you have a little one walking around?? Its next to impossible. I think we had .3 seconds to get this one in before a tragedy occurred because we werent watching. It was decent. I ALMOST got all of Seth's head in there.
Mini bowling. We will get there, but not for another year, hims too small to get it down the ally.
Skeeball with Cecilia (always been my favorite at the arcade)
Elem's first Merry Go Round EVER! At very first sight he was not too keen on it, but after about 2 seconds he was in love, and we had to pry him from it. he would have staid there all day if we would have let him.
More skeeball....just like mommy. I mean who passes up a skkeeball when you walk by. Not me! And not my kiddo. He was even trying to take other peoples balls. They didnt seem to mind. Thank goodness.
And of course, we wended the day with the initial favorite. The red race car. He took Cecilia out for one last spin. Even though he was in the passenger seat, he was totally running all of the buttons.
It was such an amazing day! It has been so long since we have gotten to do something like that! I was so thankful for the time with my family and the good simple fun we had just looking at the games and the lights and enjoying each others company. The funny thing is, the stuff that was free was what Elem enjoyed the most. Daddy on the other hand, had quite a spectacular day on the arcade games. We will be sure not to let him wonder off there on his own on pay day. He might not come back with anything left! I kept looking up when Elem was ready to go, and seeing Seth sliding his card "just one more time" to get in one more game. And then he would just flash this big smile as if to say, please I just want to play this one okay? haha. My boys. I love em.
