Honolulu Zoo

Before Janey's Auntie Alicia up and left, she came with us to the zoo... We had been a time or two, but this was the first time that all the animals were up and active, usually they are all sleeping... Janey loved the monkeys, they were so funny, swinging away... but her favorite was the keiki soo where she could pet animals and crawl into the middle of the fish tank... very neat!! We will be going back again soon, for sure!!

Story time!

Saturday is usually the day we go run errands.... costco,walmart etc... I found out about these story times that they occasionally do at the Borders in the Kaneohe mall. They read a story and then do some activities... Jane doesn't really know what is going on, but LOVES to be around the other kids.... she just is so happy at story time... We also have been to the story time at the Kahuku library and that one is awesome... These are a few pics from the Polar Express story time.... Auntie Alicia came... Jane colored a letter to Santa and then read the story... Janey loves books...

 

 

 

More Valley of the temples....

 

 

 

 

Valley of the Temples

We were shocked to hear Alicia had never been to the Valley of the temples, so here we are once again.... we love it there.... Janey did NOT want us to hold her at all there, so wanted to crawl, gravel or not.... She also thought the swan needed a little comfort only her binkie could offer, so she threw it in the water... hopefully no birds were harmed by Janey's actions...

 

 

 

 

Sitting will no longer due...

Photographic proof that Jane will pull herself up on anything now... safe or not....

 

 

 

 

Chinaman's Hat

Alicia moved home on the 22nd, so we decided before she left we would take an island tour to get pictures of her and Jane around the Island, to remember her four years living here in Hawaii. we will miss you Auntie Alicia, you were the best babysitter, and sister and friend!!
See you in June!!
