TC's First Trip to the Zoo

For my husby's 29th birthday, we decided to have a family day at the Honolulu Zoo. First of all, husby and I are no way the outdoorsy type! We're usually content with eating in air-conditioned restaurants for special occasions, hehe. But now that we have TC in our life, its important to take him out to explore and learn new things. So we packed our cooler with musubis and drinks, slathered on the sunscreen, and headed out to Waikiki.

Man, we had an awesome time there! It was pretty chill, strolling around and showing TC all the animals he's only seen in books. TC was being a good boy, too, and didn't fuss or try to climb out of the stroller. Husby was also amazed at what he saw since he hadn't been to the zoo in ages. I especially liked the relaxing lunch we had. We sat on a table near the zoo cafe and ate our musubis while some pigeons and a peacock roamed around us nonchalantly.

I look forward to more family outings with husby and TC. We want to hit up the Waikiki Aquarium or Sea Life Park next, but we'll see. In the meantime, here are some pictures husby took on our visit.


We were fortunate to be there when the elephants were taking baths and exercising. TC was amazed (and probably somewhat confused at the size of these animals! Lol!)



TC kept pointing to the play structure near the keiki zoo, but we didn't let him play there, unfortunately, since there were too many kids on it.



TC was hiding from us during lunch and playfully chasing the pigeons.



You know you let your son have a good time when he knocks out quick during the car ride home :)
