ARRIANES 7TH BIRTHDAY(June 30, 2015)

 It was a well day spent Arriane had on her birthday.  In the morning the family went to Santa Monica beach and enjoyed the kiddie rides in their amusement park. We joined them in the afternoon over a dinner at Rainforest Cafe in downtown Disney, Anaheim.  There was a band playing old favorite  songs  outside the cafe, so we stayed for a while and get entertained by their music. Arriane and Bibo dig in and even dance to some of the Elvis Presley songs.




Dinner was good.  The kids had their usual favorite kiddie meals, nuggets for Ian and Arriane and mac and cheese for Bibo.  For us adults, we had pasta, salmon, barbecues and more.  The thrilling part for the celebrant was when her cake was brought to the table.  The cake was molded like a volcano. They used long and thin chocolate chips to get the triangular shape. Inside  was the vanilla ice cream and some icing on it.  We joined the servers in singing the birthday song before Arriane blew  the candles on her cake. 
The rides in the amusement park and the stroll in downtown Disney made the celebrants happy. She only wishes for more presents to make her day.
