Our morning started off at the mall looking for new shoes for Colton. We didn't find any but Colton and Daddy enjoyed a cookie for a late breakfast. (Hey, it is "Colton's Day"...anything goes.)
After the mall we headed over to Chuck E. Cheese. It was awesome. We were the only ones in the place almost the whole time. We had never taken Colton and since Zak and I were 5 or 6 when we last went we didn't know what to expect. We've heard the pizza isn't great so we opted for a token only morning. We got 95 tokens for only $15 (we still have 50 tokens left). Colton was a bit overwhelmed by it all. Zak wanted to get right in and start playing. He was determined to get a million tickets so Colton could have a good prize. Colton went from game to game without even finishing. I think his favorite part of it all was putting the token in and ripping the ticket out of the dispenser. He really enjoyed himself until Chuck (the mouse) came around to say "Hi." He. did. not. like. that. Once Chuck showed up he was petrified that he would return. He kept saying, "Mommy Chuck go bye bye." "Mommy did Chuck go home?" We earned almost 300 hundred tickets so we decided it was time to head out anyways. Zak and I were much more excited to pick out the prize than Colton was but he ended up with two sqishy fish, two dart gun type things and a blue car. 
This was his favorite game. He played it over and over and over. He was very proud of the tickets he won since he did it all on his own.
And the winnings...
After Chuck E Cheese we asked him what he wanted for lunch, Pizza and Watermelon at Candalaris or Bagels from Panera (two of his favorite places to go). He chose Candalaris even though he didn't touch a single slice of pizza. Here he is with his best "Cheese" face. He was so cute at lunch he waved at everyone and talked the whole time.
He spotted Learning Express (he calls it Babies R Us) in the parking lot and really wanted to go play with the train. Since it was "Colton's Day" we couldn't say no. 
Today was great! Seeing our little man happy is the most amazing gift. He's a great kid and deserved a day that was all HIS!

I LOVE this idea! An entire day for the big man of the house (sorry Zak, haha), what a great idea!! I may have to do that soon for our Conman. What's so neat about it is that even though it was Colton's Day, you and Zak had the best days, too. What a fun memory!!
What a fun day!!! Miss you guys!
That sounds like a wonderful way to spend the day! Your son is adorable by the way.
