Eating in KC

One of the best things to do in Kc is to eat!!! YAY!!! Here's Raven, Memaw, and Gpa Jerry at Joe's Crab Shack. Raven loves eating here because it's so loud and there's so much going on... She doesn't have to be quiet since it's so rowdy there anyways! She loves it when the waiters dance... She almost got out and did the HokeyPokey with them, but she chickened out pretty quick! She wasn't even out of her seat yet when she changed her mind!

Riahna just wasn't sure about all the noise and commotion! She liked it, though, especially when the waittresses and waiters started dancing!

This guy came by our table, selling balloon animals for a charity. Raven picked a lady bug, so the guy made her a bug that was actually a bracelet, too. He colored dots and a face on it. That was the best couple buck Memaw spent on Raven all weekend, cause she just loved it!!! PS - Memaw took this picture to document Raven's balloon animal. Mommy did not take it, for those of you who were wondering!!! Lucas might not have appreciated that!

This is Raven ladybug bracelet! It's pretty cute.


She really liked his nose, so she kept messing with it. I was afraid she was going to pop it!
This is Riahna with her Cabbage Patch baby from Gpa Bob and Gma Eileen. Both of the girls got one for xmas, and they love them! Raven changed her doll's name from something ugly to Timberia. Don't ask, cause we don't know! But Riahna likes to poke hers in the eyes and mouth.


She suddenly grabbed her doll and either bit its nose or kissed it with a lot of tongue. We're not sure which one, but it was cute.

She was a little surprised that she got caught though, cause as soon as the camera flashed, this is the look Memaw got!!!

This is a family picture from Rainforest Cafe in Oakpark Mall.

This is Raven cheesing on a barstool. Raven likes to come here because the atmosphere is so kid friendly, with lots of noise and action all the time!

This is Riahna outside Rainforest Cafe. She was watching Raven throw pennies on the crocodile and laughing at her. Raven always entertains Riahna!

Outside of Rainforest Cafe, there's an animatronic crocodile that lays on his belly in some water with a fog machine, and occasionally he opens his mouth and growls or gets up on all fours and lunges forward. The first time he did that, Raven backed up quite a bit! Riahna was cracking up at Raven trying to throw the pennies in the croc's mouth when he opened up!

This is Riahna trying to feed herself whipped cream off of Mommy's cheesecake at Cheesecake Factory. She didn't like the actual cake, but she loved the whipped cream. We couldn't keep it coming fast enough for her! It was pretty funny!
