The kids' section was a bit of a disappointment this year. (Or maybe we were just more aware of it because we forgot to visit an ATM before traveling back in time.) The games and activities were as fun as usual, but they all came with a hefty price tag.
The highlight (despite now costing $1/kid, as opposed to being free) was the craft area. It was here, with the help of a very nice lady, a bit of tulle, ribbon and beads, that we completed Sydney's transformation into a princess.
First step in the process was choosing the beads. No shockers here - Sydney wanted pink.
But then in a surprise move, Sydney decided on green ribbon. Why? Because Mommy likes green, she explained. The very nice lady patiently allowed Sydney to try and string some of the beads onto the ribbon. That takes an awful lot of eye/hand coordination for a toddler.
To speed things along (we quite possibly would still be there, otherwise), we had Sydney continue with the bead selection process, while leaving the bead stringing process to the very nice lady.
With the ribbon/beads twisted loosely around the tulle, it was at last time to crown our little princess. I'm curious what Sydney was thinking in the photo below. She squeezed her eyes so tightly shut.
About the time the very nice lady finished her work, two young girls ran up, calling her "mom."
That explains her patience. She's been through this before a few times herself.
