Rainforest Cafe- Downtown Disney in Anaheim

Ava remembers going to the Rainforest Cafe for her 4th birthday. She had been asking to go to the Rainforest Cafe again since April 2014. She remembered a lot of the details from two years ago. We told the girls that if they did well at their summer swimming lessons and tried real hard that we could go there as a reward for doing a great job. So, on the last day of swimming lessons we took them. They did a great job at swimming lessons. Ava learned how to do the backstroke and free-style swimming. Charlotte never complained and LOVED her swim coach. She did everything she was asked to do. We actually thought that Charlotte would be swimming before Ava. But as much as Charlotte tried real hard she didn't quite learn to swim on her own yet. She doesn't quite have the muscle strength and powerful coordination enough to pull herself through the water to do freestyle or backstroke. By next summer I think she will have enough little muscle strength to push herself out of the water.

Natalie fell asleep on the way to the restaurant.

Ava's favorite part was the aquariums. Charlotte's was most definitely the elephants. The elephants moved and made noise. We got up to see them about four times. Natalie didnt want to be close to them. She would rather just observe from afar.
