Welcome Africa


Normally Jeremy has taken the children to the zoo to perform service with the Navy. Then after they have finished their service duties they get to experience a part of the zoo. Although they have never been able to walk around and really learn and look at the animals. So one day I asked them if they wanted to go to the zoo, and their response was, "Do we have to do service?". That was sad to me.....I thought know they shouldn't always have to go to the zoo and pick up trash.
Anyways, so yesterday we took them to the zoo. Our favorite part was the monkeys.....they cracked us up. Check them out trying to find food outside their enclosure. The black monkey was enjoying his fruit loops until he turned around and spilt them all on the ground. He wasn't the brightest guy, because he put his head in the box trying to figure out where all the fruit loops went.
We might have spent too much time watching the monkeys, because now Lucy is convinced she is one....and has now been attempting to climb every tree in the neighborhood.
I think this was the first zoo I have ever been to where they had guinea pigs and goats but it's Hawaii what can we say.

Yes the monkeys are my favorite in the zoo. I am glad Kya and Lucy got to actually go to the zoo and have fun. The last zoo I went to rcently was the sacramento zoo. Most all the animals were sleeping, except of couse there were the monkeys they seem to have been the most active.

Who doesn't love the zoo (Aside from the freaks at PETA)? And its good for the kids to get to go to the zoo and actualy observe and enjoy. Nice work Mom.
