California Vacay - Day 1

We just got home earlier this week after our 10 day vacation in southern California. For lunch the first day after our arrival, we decided to try the Rainforest Cafe. Last year, we took Leila and she was scared almost the entire meal. I would like to say that things improved this year, but honestly it wasn't much better. To start off with we were almost seated next to the gorillas...which would have caused major problems. We asked to move thinking it might help. Not so much. That restaurant is super loud anywhere you sit! Not my favorite place...anyway, thank goodness they employ an "animal balloon guy"! He turned her spirits right around! One look at the purple (her fave color) elephant (her fave animal) and she was as happy as could be. Thank you!!

"Animal balloon guy"...what exactly is his title??

He must have made quite the impression because, no joke, the next morning Leila asked if we could go back to "the rainforest". We will not be returning unless we are sure "animal balloon guy" is there!
