Zoo time, finally

Since we moved here I've been wanting to take the kids to the Waikiki Zoo. For one reason or another it would never work out. Well it was a must do when my parents were here. Yes it did happen!! We absolutely loved it! I thought it had to be good if President Obama visits this zoo during his vacations:)

After our zoo trip we walked on down to Waikiki beach a block away for lunch then went in the water for a much needed cool down:) The water felt so good. It was a really warm day especially when you've been walking all morning and afternoon. Waikiki was Kayla's favorite beach.

In the reptile room it was HOT:)Kayla was a really good helper. She would do things for me without me even having to ask! She is a great niece! She would change diapers, change clothes,carry Carl,cook,clean,and much more. Carl and Savvy's first zoo trip. Much more to come:) first stop to the elephantsLook at these huge turtles.They were our favorite animals to look at. We looked at them for a good 25min. There were lots of them & moving.... slow:)
Carl looking at the hippos. He enjoyed looking at the animals. If he couldn't see the animals he would scream at us to get him out of his stroller so he could see what we were looking at.Kayla being a great cousin!Walking down to find giraffes. Got a little scared when we looked up and found this guy over our heads:)Grandpa with the boys.

Happy day at the zoo:)

JUNE Fun

Chase's vacation out of school has started off with so much fun. We were so happy to have my Parents, Niece Kayla, and nephew Xavier with us for 3 weeks. They came on June 3 and left the 22nd. It was really hard to say goodbye. Goodbyes are really hard on me. I don't like not knowing when I will see them again. At this time I don't know when. I hope to see them next year or sooner.

During their visit here we got to celebrate my mom's birthday, Savvy and Carl's birthdays, and Father's day. I am going to try to keep the next post in order. Greg was at California for Josh's wedding. Marrying Heidi. Greg was a groomsman and was happy to be part of it. Greg, William, Groom Josh day of the wedding. Greg also got to go to Utah for a day trip to see his grandma there. For the first time he got to see his grandpa's tombstone.Here's what we did during my parents visit. The first week we went to a local luau then went to the blow hole. Took the kids to the beach, Pearl harbor and much more the following week. Here are some of the 800 pictures of the trip.
