Rest-or-not in the Forest

Today we took Rudy to the Rainforest Cafe. We started talking about it the day before and he was instantly intrigued. He talked about it all day calling it various names, The Rest-or-not in the Forest, Cafe Water and Cafe Rain Water. Once we got there he was just enthralled: he loved looking at all the animals and decorations while we waited, in fact our almost hour wait went by without a complaint from him or us. He was a little nervous about some of the animals at first. In the lobby, there was a crocodile. Rudy loved looking at it and would tell us it wasn't real, but when it moved and Grandpa was sitting near it, Rudy tried to pull him away from it. We had a great sit among the gorillas that went off every 10 minutes or so. There was a baby gorilla in the tree that Rudy watched very carefully as if to make sure it wasn't going to come down and land on us. He even told me it didn't have a rope so he was stuck in the tree. All in all it was a great experience and one Rudy won't forget for a while.
