Avery's Birthday, Part 2

Well I didn't finish writing about Avery's birthday, and the place we went that night was pretty cool, so here it is. It was the StoneFire Pizza Company in New Berlin, WI. It's kind of like a Chuck E Cheese but different. It's a pizza buffet with all kinds of other things like pasta, salad, etc. and there are different "rooms" you can sit in: a room that has sports on, a room that has cartoon movies on, and a room geared towards young kids called the Discovery Room. There were little areas around the room with giant legos, a playplace-style tube to crawl in and slide down, a train area, a water toys area, a do-it-yourself face painting area, and a make believe pizza restaurant. And it was all free, by the way (except for the buffet of course).
Avery had a blast running around, making new friends. Above is her in the train room. They had this big old track and like 5 outfits hanging on the wall that the kids could put on to look like train conductors. So cute huh?!

And this one (above) is her in the water room. They had little waterproof aprons you could put on your kids so their clothes didn't get wet. It was pretty cool.
We also ventured over to the other side of the place, which was a little more like Chuck E Cheese, with all the games you can get tickets on. Avery got a ride in one of those cars that move back and forth, super slow for the little kids. It was a pretty cool place. Merrick and I played a few games, but not nearly as much as we would if we didn't have the kids. They had mini bumper bowling, a rock climbing wall, bumper cars, a cool "big kid" playplace climbing area, etc. Maybe we'll go back sometime to do those things but this time we just earned about 60 tickets and got Avery a few tiny prizes.

Afterwards we came home, had Avery blow out her candles and eat a few bites of cake, and then it was off to bed for the exhausted two year old. Overall it was a pretty fun day!

I think I need to move to Milwaukee...or maybe visit. Pizza and a children's discovery area? Heaven! (its a little scary how much my idea of heaven has changed since having kids!).
