Staycation Day 2

Day 2 of staycation has been somewhat busy and somewhat slow. Most importantly it's a very important day for us because it's Daddy's 32bd Birthday!!! So guess what Mommy did, obviously not thinking at the time? She scheduled a doctor's appointment for Emma. Emma is fine by the way, we just needed to have something checked. After that we headed to Daddy's home away from home, Fry's Electronics and did some bday shopping. He picked up two items off his wish list and was a happy man. Then we headed to Grapevine Mills Mall for lunch. It being Daddy's special day, I was going to let him pick a place for lunch or dinner. Well, Jason being the super fabulous Daddy that he is, decided that today we would go to the Rainforest Cafe(an outing planned for sometime over vacation). The kids were thrilled, well at least until we got there. As we were parking we noticed two to three day school vans/small buses parked outside. That's right, we know how to pick em'. The cafe was pretty packed and we couldn't sit by the cheetah/jaguar and the little man had a meltdown. Big crocodile tears, mumbled sobs, clinging to Mommy followed for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, Emma was just fine taking in all the scenery and the kids. We played musical chairs for a minute and got everyone situated so that Henry could have a direct line of vision of the cheetah/jaguar. This made him a happy little guy. So we had lunch and the kids ate really well; so did Daddy and Mommy. And then they got to pick a new friend to take home. Henry went straight to the collection of stuffed animals and picked out a leopard and then he saw the snakes and asked very sweetly if he could have one of those too. Sure why not, we already have a small jungle in their room. Emma picked a baby giraffe and a bag of river stones that she got to hand pick. Since then we've been hanging out at home, playing with toys and watching some Scooby. There are rumors flying around that there may be an adventure tomorrow...!
