Game Works

Jon and I had a great weekend, and it's still not over! Friday night was an excellent night of relaxation, but Saturday was a bit more eventful. A few months ago, Jon offered to take me to Chuck-E-Cheese. We were planning on going Saturday night, but I decided I didn't feel like having running and screaming kids all around me, so Jon thought we could go to Gameworks: the adult version of Chuck-E-Cheese. We started off with some Margherita pizza before going to play any games. Then, we played games for 2.5-3 hours, it was a blast. We brought a coupon with us, so we got some free credit put on our pay card, which gave us a little extra time. Mostly, we played racing and other sports games. But, Jon enjoyed playing some games of luck, which just annoy me! One of the games I really enjoyed was a soccer goal kicking one. Even though it was a ball attached to a rope, it made me realize that I really miss playing that game. Maybe I'll just have to visit that game more often, at least it won't make me have an asthma attack! We also played a lot of basketball games. I think Jon was a little surprised when I kept beating him by twenty points. We played it a lot, though, and had a ton of fun competing against each other. Another game that I beat him at was at Big Game Hunting. I don't know why, but Jon thought he would beat me, ha! At heart, he thinks he is a country boy and I love him for that. It was fun to show off my "sharpshooter" skills. Jon did beat me in air hockey, though. I think my hand-eye coordination is not very strong when a puck is moving so fast towards me. He even sent a few whizzing past me as they hopped the edge of the table-slow down please! Jon did play a football throwing game, I figured I wouldn't even attempt it, but he did pretty good, I was proud! We also played some motorcycle racing, Mario Kart, and Hummer Racing. Well, the Hummer Racing made me feel nauseous because the ride was bumping all over the place and going up and down, plus we drove off a cliff and lost the race. So much for that. Mario Kart, Jon beat me by a ton! Anders would have been laughing because he teases me about how I swerve my body to turn in a car game, well I did the same thing for the bigger version as well. The motorcycle racing, we each one a game against the other, that is, once I figured out that you have to turn the gas backwards and not forwards (just a little hint).

YUM!

Keep your eyes on the road.

Pod racing, we were both pretty bad at it.

GOOOOAAAAALLLLL!

We had such a fun time, enjoying being with each other with some friendly competition and child-like fun! We haven't done anything like that together before, so it was a fun date!
