The Little Things

There was an arcade at our resort that Jackson loved and talked endlessly about!

Here he is with Daddy shooting baskets....

Putting in the "toepins" (tokins)

Daddy helping Jackson throw the balls up into the holes...when Jackson threw them himself they tended to land on people or other skeeball machines!

Riding the motorcycle

This was the absolute Number 1 thing for Mr. Jackson....the "big bachine" (machine)

Both Papa and Daddy spent too many tokens to even discuss in their attempts to get every Disney character for Jackson...

He ended up with all of the characters...

My husband is very competitive, what can I say?

Daddy told Jackson he had a surprise for him on the way home for being such a wonderful little boy on our trip! We stopped at Jackson's favorite hangout on the way home, Chuckie Cheese.

Jackson talks about this place all the time, but was a little scared on this trip...the Big Cheese, himself, came out and walked up to Jackson without any warning....Jackson turned around and was scared out of his ever loving mind!

Riding a pony, but all the while, very stiff and nervous looking around to see if Chuckie was coming...

"Daddy, off"...he couldn't finish this ride because he thought the Cheese was drawing near...

Along with his little animals from the Big Bachine, Jackson really racked up on this trip...

1) A new Black Elvis figurine

2) A Shamu, dolphin and penguin from Sea World (which, by the way, is a mother and baby penguin together, but Jackson says, "Daddy and baby" just to get me in the heart!

3) A Thomas the Train toy train and movie

4) Little prizes from the tickets at the arcade and Chuckie Cheese

We have also found the secret to car travel....go and buy 4 new things from the dollar store before leaving and let him see them for the first time in the car....The coloring book, growing ladybug and horses were a hit! (Also, by the way, there was a big and little horse which he called the Daddy and baby as well!)
