Rainforest Cafe

we decided to trek down to Southcenter and go to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch on Saturday. Its a theme restaurant and its all done up to look like the jungle, complete with apes and elephants. Eli and Kai were entranced from the minute we stepped under the tropical fish archway. The apes would start moving and making all sorts of noise followed by the elephants every 15 minutes. And every half hour the whole place would start up like a thunderstorm with lightning and rain sounds. It was really cool and the boys heads were constantly on a swivel looking around at all the happenings. It was probably the first meal Brian and I have eaten in peace and quite (if you call a jungle quite!) in a long time!

Afterwards we went to Ikea for the very first time. MAN what a store! so much to see and it seems like the building never ends. We picked up a few odds and ends and we saw the bunk beds the boys will have when they get a little older. Interesting place and I can see how you could spend a small fortune there!

Of course since we were out and about and heading home from the eastside we stopped at Theno's Dairy and got some very tasty ice cream and shakes!
