Nickelcade and Pizza!

I've known about this place for a long time but I've never been. Then I thought, Griff constantly wants to play the video games wherever we go but they're like $1 and he doesn't really know how to play. But here, a nickel or 2 or 3 is much easier to swallow as he "learns" to play the games. Plus, the have classic games that I know how to play :-D So, we went over to the NICKELCADE!!!! $2.25 per person to get in and then we got about 6 or 7 bucks in nickels and played for like 2.5 hours! It was pretty fun and Griff was into it the whole time. He especially likes the race car or motorcycle games.
That's Super Mario Brothers! Great classic game.
I was never good at this game and I'm still not :-D

Oh, yeah - BURGER TIME!!!

DK Junior, I used to be good at this game, let's just say it's not like riding a bike.
Then, I got a recommendation for a pizza place in the "plaza" or whatever you want to call it that never got finished in the middle of Orem (the place that was supposed to have the new Hale Center Theatre, condos, shops, restaurants, etc.) But Pizzeria 712 is the only shop in there I think. Some of the condos might be done as well? Anyway, turns out it a froofy pizza place not for kids. I was wondering why the host was looking at us weird when we came in, just Griff and I. Then the server didn't say 2 words to us the whole time - like warning us that the corn on the cob that Griff wanted was COVERED in sauce. I really liked it, Griff wouldn't touch it. The pizza was good and Griff ate plenty of that, but I think he would have been a lot happier at Chuck E. Cheese. Regardless, we had a good time sitting out on the porch enjoying some really nice weather.
