#41 Green Domo (1) - Westfield Mall (Carlsbad, ca)

Today we went to the arcade to get out of the record heat. Daddy tried twice to win this domo on the revolving claw game only to have the claw drop it both times and daddy flicking off the machine as he walked off.

I went and checked it out. His two tries had put domo in a great position for the picking. I put in my 50 cents and bam! Got it on the first try!

I presented it to daddy and he just shook his head in disbelief.

#40 Cheap ugly green dog (1) - old spaghetti factory (San Marcos, ca)

Today the Hubby's cousins came to visit and we went to the old spaghetti factory for dinner. While we were eating, the hubby mentioned there was a game room in the restaurant and a claw machine. My nephew said that all the claw machines were rigged and we chucked and said that not ALL machines were rigged.

After we ate, we headed to the game room and have the cost machine a try. I ended up winning this ugly green dog on the second try. This is just another example of how after you play these machines for a while you're really trying to win for pride and not the prize!

#38, #39 Hello kitty giraffes (2) - Westfield Mall (Carlsbad, CA)

Today we found a claw machine that was low on stuffed animals...making the prizes ripe for the picking! Easy pickings! We won two hello kitty giraffes!! That's right, we spent $3 winning stuffed animals from the machine and then blew another $12 on cheapy games and winning tickets for cheapy prizes.  That equates to $12 for a hackey sack and two plastic bracelets.  This is why my personal preference is the claw machine. So much more bang for the buck.

#35, #36, #37 Hello kitties and Tweety (3) - Westfield Mall ( Carlsbad, CA)

Today we went to the mall arcade just to get out and do something fun.

I played my favorite claw machine game and won a Hello Kitty for Audrey.  Then Audrey said we needed to win one for Madeline, so I won a second one after a few tries.



I handed the 2nd one to Audrey and she dropped it into the stroller and said, "Here Madeline! This one's for you!"





Then Stu won a Tweety Bird from a rotating claw machine.  "Cuca Loca!" yelled Audrey excitedly.  She was referring to the Cuckoo bird from one her current favorite shows Minnie's Bowtique, named Cuckoo Loca.



Guess she does look like Tweety Bird.



HUGS!!
