What to do on a Saturday night?
We decided to try "Incredible Pizza," after much hype from some Johnston/Urbandale friends. Think "Chucky Cheese," but buffet and on crack! It was chaos!
Andy and Rory joined us (Andy 2: "I'm at Incredible Pizza with Rory, Andy, Kelly and Carter. Best birth control ever."). We all settled in for dinner, Andy being last. He later told us that some little kid behind him in the buffet line sneezed on the pizza. Thankfully, he was the last of our group to go. Eww. Eww. Eww.
After dinner, we headed back into the World of Insanity to the mini-golf area. It was fairly busy, and crazy, as well. We got our balls and putters, and ventured into the black-lit area. Carter had a great time! She has a funky grip on her putter - we think she may be a lefty in the golfing area. But she got a little better with each put (not Tiger Woods "better," but better!). She did a great job of listening, and we had a great time.
Our problem arose when we attempted to make our way from mini-golf (clear in back) towards the door (clear in front - coincidence???). Everyone played skee-ball, Andy and Andy tried to win claw-toys, and Carter and I played a hodge-podge of kids games. Andy cashed out her tickets, and he and Andy and Rory headed out. Carter and I followed. She wanted to run and wasn't being a super listener (it was also 8:45pm). I patiently talked to her about it being busy and needing to stay right by me at all times. Not seconds later, she jets off around a corner. I forcefully made her hold my hand, which she was not a fan of. Even then, I let her watch other games and see what was going on. Patient to a T, I was. She watched a boy play a game for candy, and she wanted to play. I told her we'd have to wait our turn, until he was done. She slapped my arm. I told her hitting was not okay, and ushered her out the door. She got mad and started hitting me again. I picked her up, and she started slapping my arm and screaming. I flipped her, popped her bum (just enough to get her attention), and we hauled her out of there.
Stimulation overload.
Until the last 5 minutes (and half of the car ride), it was a great time! We'll come back .. we'll just come earlier .. and stay for the candy game!

CRAZY DRIVER!
CRAZY DRIVER x2: playing a racing simulator game with Andy, she was ALL OVER crashing her car, flipping her car, or making sparks fly out of her tailpipe!
