"Scared Limp"

Saturday evening we thought it would be fun to take the kids to Rainforest Cafe . Maybe not... Poor Emma was scared "limp". Kind of like "scared stiff", except instead of being stiff, she went completely limp. She was perfectly fine before we went in, but as soon as we sat down, she laid her head on the table and didn't move. We actually thought she was sick. The only time I've seen her that still is when she is going to throw up. She is NEVER still! We didn't figure out that she was scared until after we left, and she was suddenly back to herself again. Poor little girl!

Noah was also scared at first, especially since we were right next to a gorilla like this:


He cried and said he wanted to go home (luckily it's so loud in there with all the Rainforest noises, that we knew nobody else could hear him). He warmed up to the place, though, especially when they brought out the "volcano" - a GIANT brownie and ice cream dessert arranged like a volcano and with a real (lit) sparkler on top.

The rest of us (Isaac, David, me and my mom) had a great time. Good food. Fun atmosphere! So, will we be going back anytime soon? Maybe. At least Emma was "easy" during dinner (what's easier than a kid who doesn't move?).

Oh, and for those of you who haven't been to the Rainforest Cafe, here is a video from You Tube.
