Brady's 10th birthday celebration

Brady told me 2 days before his actual birthday that he thought he'd like to have his birthday party with his friends close to his birthday this year.  After an eight or nine year precedent of summer friend parties, I was not prepared for this change in plans!  The best we could do was a late-April birthday party.

We gave him a few options - laser tag, ice skating, rock climbing, movies - and the winner was a party at Dave and Busters.  The party package included game cards and food for 10 kids.  I think they all had a BLAST, but it's not easy getting decent pictures of ten rowdy boys intent on playing video games.

We were about to leave and Rudy had just a few credits left on his card.  He swiped this gadget, almost as an afterthought and hit the button to stop the lights (to determine how many tickets he'd win).  Wouldn't you know it...he hit the JACKPOT!  I think he ended up with almost 1000 tickets!
