The dinosaur that refused to come out.

Tonight we decided to go out for dinner at our favorite local pizza place.  We love this place, because there is a party room that has several arcade games and a big crane machine.  The girls entertain themselves playing the arcade games without even realizing they need to put money in.  I wonder how much longer we will get away with that?  Kevin and I take turns throwing our money away in the big crane machine.  The beauty is that we typically walk out with 2 or 3 stuffed animals that we did not need, but it is good fun!
 
Tonight I managed to get this dinosaur very close to the edge.  Kevin decided to use his next quarter to place it into the drop box.  The craziest thing happened.  While the claw was picking the dinosaur up, it got wrapped around the rope that holds the claw to the top of the machine.  So there the dinosaur dangled.  We put a few extra quarters in thinking we could get it to free up, but instead the machine completely froze up. 
 
The girls were going crazy!  Kevin had them pose in front of the machine with "sad faces".  It took more than a few tries before we could get them to stop laughing.  I wonder if the dinosaur will still be hanging next time we stop in?
