Tyler, Trey and I went to the Honolulu Zoo today. It's not as big as the KC zoo, not as small as Norfolk. There were orangutans, lions, chimpanzees-all the animals you expect, but I was really impressed with their Keiki Zoo. The animal exhibits had small tunnels or some type of rope swing to climb or just something that made them completely interactive and kid friendly. Tyler had a blast climbing into the middle of a fish tank or climbing a rope ladder into the goat pen. I definitely see this becoming a frequently visited destination. Extra added bonus: it's at the end of Waikiki so as you leave the zoo, you walk along the beautiful beach and enjoy the view (it's also close to Sam's and Wal-mart!).
The night before I had vacuumed really well, so while the floors were still clean I wanted to mop. To make this as efficient as possible Kevin took all the kids out for a walk and to play. Baby Trey was able to get on the trampoline and Kev said he had a blast jumping with Ray Ray and Big Guy. We cooked kabobs on the grill, Kevin let Robert repeatedly beat him in darts and Tara had another night of cheering. After dinner Kev and I were sitting on the lanai and Trey was just spinning and "dancing" and laughing all by himself. He is such a happy baby. He laughs and smiles at everything. We are blessed!!
Tomorrow is another holiday for both the kids and Kevin. I am at work tonight and thinking about coming back again tomorrow, Veteran's Day, for the holiday pay. (The only problem is I'm on a med-surg oncology floor. It's a shocker to see patients that are sick and old when I'm used to healthy child- bearing women.) Hopefully Kev will think of something fun to do with the kids. The pool? Maybe the zoo again? The beach? It ROCKs to be able to do this stuff all year!!
