The kids handled the long line well. Of course Emmet loved talking about Bakugan with all the boys in line with us. They were arguing over the finer points of the game. I was entertained by the man standing in line behind me who managed to discuss Star Wars with me for a good amount of time. He feels that his knowledge of Star Wars is so great there is no question you could have that he couldn't answer! I was grateful that Emery was starting to get bored so I could focus my attention on her and not the Star Wars trivia that was being thrown at me.
There were three stations. The first was a demonstration of the game Bakugan given by a "Bakugan Master". I think he was a great actor, but Emmet was convinced he was a "real" Master! I learned all of the rules and was surprised at how much I already knew about Bakugan. So, any moms out there wondering how to play Bakguan, I can definitely help you out with that.
The second station Emmet actually battled! It was done with the help of an adult who assisted the kids during the battle, answering any questions and making sure the game was being played correctly.
The last station Emmet was able to battle unassisted and sit in a really cool chair. He actually won and I could not believe how excited he was! I left so glad we went. It was free and Emmet had a great time. It amazes me how simple an activity can be, but how fun the kids actually have. He wants to have a Bakugan birthday party and set up a tournament. We'll see if I can pull that off.
I have to hand it to Emery. She was such a trooper. She could have battled if she wanted to, but she would rather cheer Emmet on.

you are a very fun mom! good job!
You are SUPER mom, because I don't think I would have done it! :-)
I think I need to come over for a tutorial...Brayden loves bakugan, but none of us are really sure how it works!
That's hilarious! Of course there would be some random guy trying to impress ya with his Star Wars knowledge, haha! So, I have to ask you how the heck Bakugan works? While we were at Walmart Jace asked me to buy him a Bakugan (his first) and he loves it but I don't know how the heck it's played! Maybe Emmet can come over and teach us all. :)
And yes, I stalked you out from Sabrin's blog, hope ya don't mind!
Sounds like a legit experience. And I'm pretty sure you are officially a "fun mom"! So cute to read about. And I love the cool chairs (are they supposed to be Bakugan things?) P.S. Emmet does look so grown up in his school pictures. I'm excited that he loves it and that it went so well. And food? Eating more kinds of food? Good things for you guys!
