Honolulu Zoo

I felt the sudden urge to go and DO today. On my way home from my Weight Watchers meeting, my friend suggested the zoo. That appealed to me, so the zoo it was! I didn't think Kyron or Porter would be into it, as they often expressed disdain when I mentioned going there in the past. But they were very excited about it. Yay!

Parking was a nightmare. And not knowing where I was going, it wasn't easy with all that traffic and one way streets. But, I found the free park parking eventually and found a nice shaded spot easy enough. We loaded up the double stroller with kids, my camera bag, a water bottle, and a bag of dried mangoes. We were off!!

It took a long time to get here (1 1/2 hours) because I misunderstood my gps and ended up taking surface streets. Because of that, I told the kids to each pick one animal each that they really wanted to see, and we would make sure to go see them first. Then see as many more as we could before we had to leave.

We had a wonderful time, and I would go again. May have to buy a membership. Also need to take more water and perhaps a picnic lunch next time. We had a great insulated water bottle that I filled with ice. The ice didn't melt, but we didn't run into enough water fountains to keep it filled. We were all tired at the end of the day, Porter and Donovan fell asleep on the way home. It was a great day!!
