Petting Zoo

We have been really busy lately so I have not had time to update our blog. A few weeks ago Julien and I went to the zoo with our friends Amber and Zak. Julien is still not a huge fan of the zoo but does seem to enjoy the little petting zoo they have there. They have some HUGE goldfish!

Crawling through the tunnel to get inside the fish tank

He thought it was pretty sweet

Petting the goats

This goat was chewing on the rope and Julien just had such a confused look on his face and kept saying "uh oh"

Taking a little water break in the shade; it was SO hot!

For play group one week we got to go to the fire station...Julien loved the fire trucks

Hanging out at the beach

We found this sweet tent for Julien at Goodwill for $1.99 He Loves it!

Julien now thinks the sunglasses and apparently goggles are so cool ...pretty funny!

The First Year

One year ago today we got on a plane and moved to Hawaii! Some days it feels like we have been here forever and that I will never again experience the luxuries of the mainland such as carpet, a house with a yard not a tiny apartment 16 stories up, living more than a block from the freeway, laying in bed and having it be silent, not hearing sirens, mopeds or street racing, normal food that I can actually afford, parks without bums, not having cockroaches or geckos in my house, police who actually fight crime, and people that speak English!!! It is definitely a different world over here but then there are days we wake up to beautiful sunshine and drive 5 mins and are able to lay on the most beautiful beaches and can't believe that we live in such a beautiful place. It has been a rough year, especially the first few months...if you have forgotten all of our horror stories you can go back and read our August entries from last year, but we have really learned a lot while we have been here and I think can now say that we are grateful for this adventure in our lives and will really miss this place when we leave...but yes we are going to leave. So...for all of you especially MY FAMILY, who have STILL NOT COME TO VISIT ...get your BUTTS on a plane and get over here while you can!!!
