Sydney and Sarah with Dora


Sydney and Sarah with Dora, originally uploaded by jason_m_thomas.

We were at the Boondocks fun center today to meet Dora! The $5 adult / $10 kid fee included a pretty good breakfast, tokens for arcade games, a ride on the go-carts, and of course the chance to meet Dora. Sydney was totally freaked out by Dora as she has been by anyone in costume. Her friend Sarah seemed to be having fun but Sydney refused to give Dora a hug. She eventually mustered up the nerve to give Dora a high five and Boots a hug but that was it. She's always been freaked by people in costume including the Rat at Chucky Cheese and of course Santa. She had a blast on the water boats (see Flickr photos) but got freaked out by the little go-carts. We put her in one and started to buckle her in but I think she expected us to ride with her. Of well there's always next time. We found some extra mini-golf clubs and balls sitting around and decided to let the girls play a round while the moms did some baby feeding. We actually ended up staying from 9:45 to 1:15 which was way longer than I expected. Both girls were pretty wiped out by then but at least Sydney had a decent nap!
