Zoo, Cookie Kaboose and the Beach!

This time back we finally went to the zoo that daddy's been talking about. He didn't recognize it since he hasn't been in a long time, but I thought it was pretty cool. I saw chimps hugging, giant giraffes, and big elephants up close.

The best part was the Keiki (Kids) Zoo.

Clean up time!


Because I helped sweep up, I got to ride on a hippo too

After the zoo, we went to hang out with Aubrey and her parents Lydell and Cheryl. She's 16 months old now!


Because her magnets don't stick to the fridge, this is where she puts them

The next day we went to lunch with Uncle Lester and Aunty Daryl. Before lunch though, I got to ride on the Cookie Kaboose!


Big fake smile. This was the only smile the whole time.


Really, I wasn't sure what to make of this giant train and the crazy dancing/singing elves walking next to me.

We met up with daddy's friends again the next day in mommy's quest for good Thai food in Hawaii. Here we are at Chiang Mai. Pretty good, very spicy, but still could be better...

And what trip to Hawaii would be complete without:


Showing off daddy's "abs" at the beach?

The last night, Kung Kung and Grandma had a party for us. Lots of people came and I entertained them with one of my early Christmas presents, my "gi-TAH."

Hawaii was a lot of fun, and we even got to go to see a bunch of preschools. I caught on quickly though, and I fell asleep for the last few.

Next time, sunny Cali and more party time!
