The Honolulu zoo was hosting a military appreciation day today. I planned for us to go since Trey had never been and it was free for us military folk! I figured Trey wouldn't mind going to this zoo because it was free to get in. I warned him it was not even close to the St. Louis zoo, which is awesome and huge! The zoo here in Honolulu is rather small, but also perfect to take the kids to. You don't have to worry about walking too far and then having to walk a zillion miles to get to the exit. There is also a petting zoo area for the kids. However, we didn't enter the petting zoo because my germaphobe husband didn't want us getting dirty! I let it slide this time because of how piping hot outside it was and I knew how far we had to walk to get back to the car.
It was nice having Trey escort his girls to the zoo! Riley got to ride on daddy's shoulders so she could get a good view of the animals. The most entertaining animal for Riley were the monkeys. Thank goodness they have a bunch of different species of them. Riley is a fan of "Go, Diego, Go" which is a cartoon on Nickelodeon. There are two monkeys on the show called the Bo Bo brothers and they are always causing trouble. On the show the Bo Bo brothers are always told to stop what they are doing. So at the zoo everytime Riley saw a monkey she'd yell "no Bo Bo's, no!" It was the cutest thing ever! After seeing the first set of monkeys at the zoo, Riley kept asking for more Bo Bo's the entire time. 
Above is a shot of Riley and Hadley checking out some of the Bo Bo's!! Well, Hadley wasn't doing too much looking. She was just chilling out in the stroller chewing on her seatbelt straps.
After the zoo we headed home and ate some lunch and the girls took their afternoon naps. Trey and I enjoyed some peace and quiet together which doesn't happen often. We watched a car auction that his mom's boyfriend was attending and bidding at. It might not sound like the most entertaining thing to watch, but Mr. Clayton won the car he bid on which really excited Trey because he got to see it happen. I couldn't tell you what the car is, I'm not a fan of it, but Trey loves the classic cars. Anywho, after the naps daddy was playing with his baby girls on the floor and it was adorable to watch. Hadley is obsessed with Trey. She seriously can't take her eyes off of him when he's in the room. It makes me kind of sick, but it's super sweet!
Here is a shot of the googly eyes Hadley gives her daddy!
