The original plan was for us all (my sister and her family, my other sister and her husband, my aunt and our family) to go down to Universal Studios for my nephew's birthday, but after much conversation (and some pregnant lady limitations) we decided on Chuck E. Cheese instead. And I have to day, I'm glad we did. They honestly did a great job putting together a birthday party for my nephew! He got balloons, a crown, a medallion, free tokens, a trip to the ticket blaster (which his daddy did for him), pizza, cake, pinata, a cup and Chuck E. Cheese himself came out to hang with the birthday boy for a while. :) I have to say I was pretty impressed! :) The other kids got a goody bag, a cup and a balloon, plus tokens for the games. Reese seemed to enjoy herself for the most part - although we had a complete meltdown when Chuck E. Cheese came out. She literally tried to climb me to get as far away from him as possible. She's so funny about certain things . . .apparently grown men/women dressed up in a mouse costume freaks her out. :) Anyway, other than that, we had a great time! Jet enjoyed it, too, except that he wasn't allowed to get down and crawl around. That boy does not like being tied down!! :) All in all it was a great celebration (sadly, I have no pictures to go with this!)
On Sunday we made our annual trip to the Northeast Florida Fair! :) Again, it was lots of fun and we had great weather for it! Reese wasn't up for riding any rides and she walked around with her fingers in her ears saying it was "too loud". :) Seriously, this girl gets another year and then Mommy is going to be "strongly" persuading her to ride some rides and loosen up. :) Reese did enjoy the food, though, and knew what she wanted (cotton candy). Oh! She did get her face painted and really liked seeing the animals (cows, horses, pigs and goats)! Again, Jet did fairly well, but started getting frustrated with having to stay in his stroller the whole time (I keep telling him that if he would just start walking it would solve all of his problems!)! :) He, too, enjoyed the food! :) It was a nice time of being with my family. :)
Thankfully, we got one more day with Aunt Betty, Jess and Tom before they had to fly back home! Monday was spent just visiting and enjoying the nice weather outside! The kids made a mess of themselves with sidewalk chalk, bubbles and playing basketball. :)
It was a great weekend!!! :)

Tory used to be terrified of clowns when she was little and always used to plug up her ears at any loud sound! :) So glad you had fun! :)
