I realize that this post is out of order but the pictures are too cute to pass up!! After Harlass told us that it would be fine for me to stay at the Ronald House we headed back to Alamo to pick Mayce up. One of my biggest hesitations about staying in the hospital was that it was going to keep us away from her for a week and I really struggled with that. So although the situation wasn't ideal it was made much better by having her there with us. Strange as it seems it was way easier for us to relax with her there than it would have been with her in Alamo.
Seeing as we were in all El Paso and we knew that Mayce's time as an "only" was seriously limited we decided to make the best of it and have some final fun as a family of three. Mayce already thought that the Ronald House was the best thing ever since it had a slide inside but we wanted to do something special so Monday the 5th we headed out for one last hurrah!
Food was our first order of business and much to Mayce's delight we thought that Chuckie Cheese would provide the fun atmosphere we were searching for. She had a blast and loved playing the games almost as much as daddy did! She kept waving and waving at Chuckie and was incensed that he would not wave back but we told her he was busy and she seemed okay with that.
After what seemed like hours of skeeball, basketball, and the tractor game we called it good and went in search of our next destination. During one of my previous doctors appointments Buck had noticed an advertisement for ice skating and we wanted to take Mayce but due to time constraints we were unable to. So this seemed like the perfect timing and indeed it turned out to be way more fun than any of us had hoped. Mayce loved it and although I am still suprised by the fact that El Paso has an indoor rink I am thankful for their hockey team the Rhinos.
It did takes us a while to get the child laced into her skates but once in them she was raring to go. What was funny was that she was perfectly capable of walking on them off the ice but as soon as stepped foot on the ice, "Clingo" returned and needless to say Buck was more than a little sore after our escapade. We also had to laugh at the fact that I am the one who actually likes to ice skate and I had to sit on the sidelines while he and Mayce went round and round and round.
