Ear Piercing and Zap Zone

Grace has been wanting to get her ears pierced since Emily got hers done a few years ago, so when Billy planned a Saturday trip to Zap Zone for everyone, I hatched a plan for Grace and Juliet to get their ears pierced at the same time.  Grace and Juliet were happy to swap out the 'all inclusive' pass for a cheaper option so that they could get their ears pierced.

Did you know you can schedule a piercing appointment at Claires? Well, you can, and it was awesome.

So, when we got there, we got the big kids passes, found a spot for Daddy to 'camp' and then headed for their appointment.

Grace went first, and was so thrilled, even with the long wait and sorting through hiccoughs (they didn't have two of the same earring sets that we had picked out, and we all know they had to be the same.

Next up was Juliet, who was ready after waiting for Grace.  It was a faster turn around though, since I was able to fill her paperwork out while Grace was in the chair.

Happy girl!

Happy, Happy, Ha-ah!

If you just happen to be cleaning out any old post earrings, I know two girls who would love to beef up their collection!

When we were done, we made our way back down to zap zone, where I got each of them a pass for a few attractions.  We were there close to four hours!  The Texas-Michigan game was on, and I just could not bring myself to root for UT so I was disappointed when U of M lost.

They have this awesome pizza delivery robot!!!  The face changes, and it can also change course if it detects an obstacle. I think it's only for parties though.

In addition to the trampoline area, William's favorite was the pixel floor, with various jump quest games. It was pretty fun! He really liked "the floor is lava."

We didn't see much of the kids, they had plenty of options to keep them busy, so I didn't even get a picture of Alice or Emily!

It was a really good time, and a decent substitute, considering we skipped out on all the county & local fairs this year!

We'll be back again soon, I'm sure.
