The goal today was to head straight from Calen's afternoon baseball game to this arcade/go kart fun place (Scandia Fun Center) and meet Cam's favorite Petaluma friend and his parents for an hour or two of fun (in lieu of a party).
Between the day-long birthday festivities yesterday, the sudden crankiness that Camden woke up with today (regardless of the fact that we tried to convince him that "big five year olds don't whine....", to no avail), and two baseball games set 2 hours apart from each other (thus us being out of the house for basically 6 hours today), we were all strung out, tired, and cooked.
And then my friend called me and said she had just pulled into the Scandia parking lot, and it was packed, so packed there was barely any parking (100 spot lot) and we both envisioned lines ten kids long at each game inside.
I looked at Cam, hot and cranky from having to spend the last two hours "watching" his brother play his game, and decided NOPE, there's no way this is going to happen today.
Who wants to take two overtired kids to a place with 300 obnoxious kids where they have to wait in line for 15 minutes to do ANYTHING anyways.
Not me.
Unless it's Disney World. Because that's worth it.
So we decided plan B: our friends would come to our house, we would eat Cam's cake, and he and his friend could play Disney Infinity upstairs and play Legos for a few hours until bedtime.
Quiet. Calm. No one else's kids. And Cam was happy. Perfect.
