My first trip to the Zoo

WOW! I went to the Honolulu Zoo today and it was great! I saw so many animals. Not as many as I had hoped to see but then again it was furlough Friday (a little Hawaii joke).

Momoka loved the zoo. The weather was just perfect. Animals most liked - zebras and giraffes. Animals who were just OK - elephants. There was a petting zoo and Momoka loved seeing the animals up close. No touching though - too "bachi bachi" as momma would say. Every time we took her out of her stroller for a better look at an exhibit she would smile and babble on and on and when it was time to move on she would cry and cry when she got put back in the stroller.

We bought a family yearly pass not knowing if she would even like the zoo. Thankfully she does and we have one more place to take our gal for new and exciting experiences.

Here's a shot of our gal looking into the zebra and giraffe exhibit. She loved it!

Here's an action photo of our gal chasing some pigeons in the park where we had our picnic. I am not sure what goes through a baby's mind about chasing the ever elusive bird but it seems like every toddler, once they've learned how to get up a head of steam, will chase birds for ever and ever. Momoka is no exception. Hard to believe that she is trotting after birds when it seemed like just yesterday she was totally dependant on us for every form of locomotion.

Hey, picnics are fun! I love the zoo!

My first fried potato and boy is it yummy. How come it's taken you guys so long to fork over the good stuff?

This little gal is a beacon of love. What a wonderful and special little soul.
