Honolulu Zoo

Christina and I took the girls and Emmi to the zoo today. It was hot and muggy but the kids enjoyed themselves. Ella's never seen animals (aside from dogs and cats) up close and it was so much fun watching her amazement at some of the things the world has to offer.

Upon first entering the zoo, there is an area of flamingos and Ella shrieked out loud at such a sight! And they move too! When we tried to get her to walk with us, she had a bit of a melt down having to leave such a spectacle... until she realized that the more she walked, the bigger the animals got.

The zoo itself isn't all that impressive, we saw a rhino, elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, tortoises, chimps, monkeys, and birds and lizards galore. Ella chased a peacock across a grass picnic area and into some bushes - wish I had some video of that. And at the playground where we had lunch chased pigeons. This girl is not afraid of anything. It was a great day.
