We have had Chuckie Cheese, Care Bear Cheer, Frosty, and other charactors come into our home to visit the children. This usually lasted 45 minutes. Chuckie came for our Christmas Fun Day in 2001. Care Bear Cheer came for our Spring Day Fun in 2003. Frosty came for our Winter Day in 2006. We have really enjoyed these visitors and I know your kids well too.
