So Cal Days 4-5

First up on the agenda was a trip to Dave & Busters, where Ryan went on every single game in the joint that had a steering wheel on it. 
Next up was a trip with Kathy & Tia Jackie to the Rainforest Cafe...which I planned because I thought Ryan would love.  His review?  "It's a little bit scary sometimes."  Who doesn't think large, fake, robotic animals jerkily coming to life when it loudly thunders isn't cute?  Oh yeah...toddlers.
The food took a while so I taught Ryan the art of kung fu (of which I am naturally blessed at of course).  No one will ever steal a fry from him again without sorely regretting it.
I'm brown enough to pull this off, and apparently, Ryan is too.  Homeboy looks pretty darn goooood with dreads, right?
Chugging along that evening at Victoria Gardens
I showed Ryan how to look gangsta so no one would enter our private clubhouse...
Then the happy white lady comes along and mucks up all my hard work...
I wish I could say this table full of vegan Thai food was for a party of six, but no...it was just for the three of us.  :-) 
Later that night we waddled over to Farrell's for a giant ice cream sundae!  Well, we tried but were denied.  It was over a one hour wait...so we sulked and left and went to Richie's instead.
There was no wait there!  Happy faces!
On our last night there, Ryan loved his first ever banana split (everyone knows they're healthy because they have fruit in them).

I had such a great time with all of you. I need to send you the pic of Ry petting Cassie-girl. :) He is such an angel.

Where is there a Farrell's?!?!?!?!??? I thought they were all gone years ago.

(please, please, please let it be somewhere reasonably close to me....)
