Cartoony World

After school, we went to a place called Cartoony World with our friends Colleen and her kids, Riley and Nicola (who is in Sydney's class). Cartoony World is a combination of Chuckie Cheese (without the food) and an arcade so that it would attract kids of all ages. There is even a train ride, an indoor carousel and live fish pond where kids can keep any goldfish that they can catch. In other words, it is loud and overwhelming. When we first arrived, Sydney looked at me and said, "Mama, nooooooo." But once Colleen and her kids arrived, Sydney felt more comfortable and had a great time playing.

Once we finished playing in the ball room, Sydney played a couple of video games and rode a couple of the rides. Of course, she walked right past the cute, girly rides and instead insisted on riding on the helicopter and the Batman car. She was too scared to go on the train ride with Riley and Nicola but took several turns on the carousel.

After almost 2 hours, the Moms were tired so we all went to Moon River Cafe for dinner ---- chicken quesadillas and tuna melt for Sydney and me, just what a couple of American girls needed to hit the spot. When we got home, Sydney only had enough energy left for a bath before asking to be put to bed.
