The Zoo

Last weekend I decided to be adventurous and take the kids to the zoo. Not adventurous as in "Wow, you're taking all 4 kids by yourself?" More like, "Dude, I NEVER go near Honolulu without Ry being the driver/navigator". Well, I take Marcus there for his eye appts, but the office is right off the highway. Easy. The zoo? Not so much. But I put a lot of trust in the garmin to help me find it...and find parking. :) It was worth it! It was rainy all over the our place but not at the zoo. The sun was out and the weather was quite nice--not too hot. We took every trail, saw every animal, had lunch at the cafe, and played on the playground.

The kids love this huge fish tank.

Our friendly peacock, "Kevin", tried to join us for lunch. My kids completely freaked out.

Funny story--the kids LOVED seeing the elephants. Especially Marcus....til one elephant turned its back on us and started pooping. Marcus was disgusted--"Ewwwwww! Mom! He's blech!"

That's Marcus's little way of saying he's pooped. :)
The boys were chasing the birds on the ground.

The roots of these huge trees. The kids had lots of fun playing in here.

These were hanging down all over the tree.
