day at the zoo


We had a fun day at the zoo with our friends. The Honolulu zoo is great because it's small and yet has every animal you would want to see...and even then we still didn't make it to half of the animals before we get hot, tired and hungry. This was Jude's first trip to the zoo here in Hawaii. Now that he doesn't take his morning nap...adventures to the other side of the island are possible. And in Hawaii many tourist places have kamaina (Hawaii residents) rates which make things very affordable...it's nice to have a price break when it comes to anything in Hawaii.

This is the great big banyan tree outside the zoo that has little pathways through the roots growing down from the branches....such a fun place for kids and a great place for shade.

These are the giraffes that Ethan and I got to feed last time we were at the zoo. It was a special program you could go to where you go behind the scenes and feed the animals apples. We also got up close to a Rhino...it's truly amazing how big these animals are and yet we were able to feed them from our hands.

The roots on the banyan tree are so interesting. It looks like fun and the boys look so much older than the last time I saw them--3 weeks ago ;>) Mom H
