Rainforest Cafe

After visiting Santa last week, we decided to treat Trey to dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in the Galleria. I'd never been there before, but Mama C had said Trey would love it, and I had browsed through it on a recent shopping trip (sans Trey, as most of my shopping trips are, which happens to be why I rarely go shopping these days, but that's another story...). Anyway, we thought Trey would love it, and we were right.

Trey was fascinated with the animals. I'm pretty sure he thought they were real at first. At the very least, they were life-sized versions of the animals he always sees in his books, and he thought they were pretty cool. At Rainforest Cafe, the animals come to "life" from time to time and move around with sound. This scared Trey a little (which is not saying much, since this is the boy who is scared of the dust buster, which might speak more to my housekeeping habits than to his temperment) but he soon realized the animals pretty much stayed in place and were not going to come out and grab him.

We sat by the elephants at dinner. Trey was also a little scared when a "thunderstorm" started in the restaurant; he insisted Mommy pick him up and hold him. But he may have just been tired; it was getting late, since we had spent so long visiting Santa and all. Trey loved his food there, even if Mommy and Daddy thought the food was simply okay (and overpriced -- we split one of the lower priced entrees since we were pretty sure the food was not the attraction at this place); Trey cleaned his plate and even requested extra applesauce!
