Ewwwww. Sydney loved the place, though. Here she&#8217;s trying out one of those cars that rock back and forth but don&#8217;t actually go anywhere (what a cheat!).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image2948\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/sydneys_3rd_03.jpg\" alt=\"sydneys_3rd_03.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>And then it was time to eat some of that infamous Chuckee&#8217;s pizza. The sauce and cheese were actually okay, but the crust was not only mealy, on one side of the pie it wasn&#8217;t fully cooked.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image2950\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/sydneys_3rd_15.jpg\" alt=\"sydneys_3rd_15.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>See? What did I tell you? Giant rat. Sydney is just begging to lose a thumb, in this picture.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I hadn&#8217;t run out of pics before Sydney started playing skeetball. She couldn&#8217;t throw the balls far enough to get into the hoops, so she walked up the lane to a few feet away from the hoops, and threw from there. (She didn&#8217;t know enough to choose a high-scoring hoop to aim at, though, so she still got the lowest score possible.)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image2949\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/sydneys_3rd_04.jpg\" alt=\"sydneys_3rd_04.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sit still long enough and a dragon&#8217;s bound to alight on your head. Paging Anne McCaffrey!<\/p>\n<p>Look at them curls! We should shave Sydney&#8217;s head and sell the hair, we&#8217;d make a mint. ((Actually, one of the other guests told a story about her two-year-old girl &#8211; who had long, lovely hair &#8211; being taken for a weekend visitation by the father, and then being returned with a mohawk. &#8220;And it wasn&#8217;t even a <em>good <\/em>mohawk!,&#8221; her mother complained. The girl in question now has a very cute short haircut, kindof partway between a pageboy and 1970s Mia Farrow.))<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"image2951\" src=\"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2006\/11\/sydneys_3rd_05.jpg\" alt=\"sydneys_3rd_05.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Back at home and a dress change later, Sydney grabs a quick spoonful of birthday cake. Kim got these party hats that are supposed to look like pirate hats, but to me they looked more like big pastries on people&#8217;s heads.<\/p>\n<p>More birthday photos next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More photos below the fold!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-baby-kid-blogging"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/amptoons.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
