Hawaii - Day Five: Church and Zoo 7/24/2011


On Sunday we went to church.  This church was just beautiful!  It had an amazing temple-like fountain in front with all these flowers.


And an Amazing Jesus Fresco at the front!  I never would have believed this was on an LDS chuch, but here it is!


Cady and I, of course, picked flowers for behind our ears... and then noticed the signs asking not to pick the flowers.  Oops!



We then went home, changed, and started walking to the Zoo.  We walked through this cool park that had the trees with the vines, and the kids had a grand time climbing them.


Randy of the Jungle!



We eventually got to the zoo, and the first thing we saw were the flamingos.  Scott had apparently never seen flamingos before, and he was just flabbergasted that they actually look like the lawn art flamingos!  


Apparently Cady understands that she should be on the other side of the fence, and kept climibing it.


This zoo was pretty cool because you could get very close to the animals.  Of course it was all safe, but they were all just right there!


I liked this picture a lot.  It wasn't on purpose, but Scott and Randy matched today!  Like father, like son.  Randy sure does love Scott and looks up to him in every way.  Scott's such a wonderful dad for him.


You can't tell what this is very well, but you can see the tiger tail in the glass on the right.  Our little "Tony the Tiger" when he saw the tiger went right up to it and said:  "Hey!  I'm Tony the Tiger!  You think you're gonna get me?  Well I'm gonna get you first!  I'm Tony the Tiger, so take that!"  Just the cutest thing in the world!  You can't tell, but he's yelling at the tiger right now.  It must have just been after feeding time, 'cause the tiger looked at him, yawned, and went to sleep.  We were hard pressed to pull Tony away from this display, though.  He loved them.


Right here we're at the monkey cage, and the monkeys are shrieking and screaming and peeing all over each other and having a regular ol' fight, and what's Tony looking at and begging me to see?  The ants!

There were peacocks all over the place just wandring around.  The kids had a kick out of being so close to them and their big long feathers.
