Cheese?? http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BabyGotBlog/~3/Ku6b1ECsgTU/ http://www.babygotblog.com/remember-the-outings-at-chuck-e-cheese/#comments Sun, 21 Feb 2010 23:25:40 +0000 Trisha http://www.babygotblog.com/?p=131 Admit it…just admit it. You are an adult, or at least society expects you to act like one, and yet when you see a ball pit like the ones at McDonald’s or Chuck E. Cheese Restaurant you have the urge to jump in and play…height restrictions are just to be ignored.  One of my friends and I were talking about how awesome being able to play in a ball pit that is sized for adults would be and we were saying that if we could get one or somehow build / create one that tons of the college kids that we know (and some of the staff and faculty) would just have a BLAST and it would be an activity that would go down in Ferrum College history…

We also talked about how the giant ball pit would be a super fundraiser for, and attraction at Ferrum’s RELAY FOR LIFE event.

SO…
After dinner, my friend went to a movie and I came to my room and jumped on Google. After a few minutes on the internet, there were two or three things that surprised me.

  1. The largest ball pit I could find is about the size of a Queen Size bed, and costs about $3,200.  This is just not big enough for college students.
  2. Ball pits are incredibly theraputic, and help with various kinds of sensory disorders (don’t believe me??  READ HERE)
  3. Those balls, are probably the most expensive pieces of plastic I have ever seen!
  4. If we want to do a ball pit just the right size for college students … we might just have to build it ourselves
  5. Some guy has created a ball pit ball calculator so that you can determine how many balls you need to cover an area to any given depth so that you can create your own ball pit (SEE HERE)

Item #2 on that list was probably the most interesting to me.  I had no idea that it could be so beneficial to spend time in one of my favorite attractions at Chuck E. Cheese…even if my Aunt Lisa did have to dive in and get me one time because of the bigger kids…apparently it has a very calming effect (or at least it can…the staff at Chuck E. Cheese might argue the point and have video to back them up)

We are still thinking this out we will keep you all posted…

He Got to meet Terrence “Mount” Cody!!!! The guy who saved our game against Tennessee on our way to the 2010 BCS National Championship. Not sure if he got to meet the rest of the team or not…

Is it wrong for me to be jealous of an 8-year-old?

Mason meets Terrence "Mount" Cody on his 8th birthday...I have to admit, I am a tad jealous!

    A Yummy cup of pop pop's cocoa

    I am visiting my Ma Jo and Pop Pop and most nights Pop Pop has offered to make me a cup of hot chocolate…it is downright yummy stuff with cocoa, vanilla, cloves, and 1/2 inch of coffee creamer…some nights we talk, some nights we watch television or movies, and other nights we sit in the recliners and each work on our computers…but every night we enjoy each other and the cocoa

    trust me folks he can make something besides “fried cornflakes”
