We have been staying busy around here. We took the kids to the Honolulu Zoo for the first time ever and really enjoyed it. It was the boys first time to see a hippo so they were pretty stoked. I also got to see a Eucalyptus tree for the first time and was shocked at how beautiful it is. We have been beaching it a lot (of course) and we went to the Aquarium just down the street and saw the fish (or bush, as Eli says). Yesterday was King Kamehameha day and we saw the big parade and all the hoopla surrounding this Hawaiian holiday. So much fun! One important thing to note is that Eli has pee pee'd in the potty 2 times and has officially entered into the "terrible 2's" he is still so sweet but is definitely using the word "no" very liberally and constantly testing the boundaries. All the same, he is a joy and we are having a ball here. We miss Daddy every day and wish he were able to join us. He is in Houston working very hard so that we are able to enjoy these summer trips to Hawaii :)

| This local guy took the boys out in his outrigger. That canoe has been passed down from his father to him...very old canoe but that is the Hawaiian tradition. |
