Rock Star

Jeff picked up Henry and Miss R from school in the afternoon. Both kids had a good day. Henry's teacher, Miss Stephanie, brought coloring spray to put in the kids' hair. Jeff said that he thought that Henry had the wildest hair at school. He brought the sunglasses to Henry. As Henry walked out, more comments about Henry looking like a "rock star" were made. The staff at the front desk had a good giggle as Henry left.

We played for a little while in the living room. I was itching to get out of the house. We decided to go to Monkey Business, a new restaurant/arcade establishment in Marana. It is no Dave & Buster's, but they have several games that are appropriate for toddlers. Monkey Business was a huge hit with Henry and Miss R. They like the flashing lights in the arcade. They attempted to play skee ball but couldn't quite get the balls up the lanes. We let them play some car games (we had to hit the gas pedals for them, but they did the steering). There was a space shuttle ride that moved back and forth. Both Henry and Miss R fit in it at the same time. We took tons of pictures, as always, but can't post the ones of Miss R for privacy reasons. Take our word: The kids are super cute together. Monkey Business is trying to sustain itself in the market by having slightly better food than a place like Chunk E. Cheese. The food was pretty good. For whatever reason, Henry found the ketchup to be the tastiest part of the meal.





















We left around 7:30PM. By that point, the kids didn't want to leave, but Miss R was in a mood. It was clearly nearing her bed time. When we got home, I put her to bed. Jeff read with Henry in the living room. When it was time for Henry to go to bed, Jeff brought him in the bedroom, but Henry talked up a storm. It took him 50 minutes to settle down.

I think that we are going to try to visit the Tucson Children's Museum tomorrow. The exhibits may be slightly to advanced for their ages, but we'll see. I've never been.

That's all from The Wild Kingdom.
