April 23 was a superduperepicday because I got to spend an entire day with you.

School vacation week… you were bored and wide open to do something fun.  Off we went on a cool triple bill: two places we had already been; one a brand new adventure.  It was a winning combination.

First up, our favorite inside fun place: Dave & Buster’s in Woburn, MA. They added games since last time we were there; it was a blast. They have the best prizes.

Next up – lunch at Fuddrucker’s. Cheeseburgers, fries, chocolate or vanilla shakes and my favorite, the pickles!

Belly’s full, we ventured a couple exits south to try our new location: King’s Bowl in Burlington.  It’s a new bowling experience with dark lightning, neon, cool wall graphics, restaurants, food served while you bowl and a game room.

You shook your heads in disbelief when I told the check-in bowling dude my name was “Dre.”  Hey – it’s in my name, Andre!

We battled hard across three strings of bowling for a couple hours.  As the games heated up and the afternoon wore on, you were doing great with several strikes. Not the case with me! I had none.

Soon it was the last frame… time to head back home… and my last chance to knock down ten pins in one shot.  You started chanting, “Dre, Dre, Dre, Dre!!” I cracked up.  It was the inspiration I needed because on the last shot of the day, I finally got my 10 pin knock down. Thanks for the encouragement!

You were quiet as we headed back home, but the music of Emma’s favorite band filled the air, and the winnings from Dave & Buster (candy!) kept you chomping away.
