Enjoying the Fresh Air

 Trey's mother, Madeleine, arrived on Thursday evening.  The girls were excited to have a visitor, especially one of their grandparents.  I think they know they get spoiled when there is a grandparent around.  Madeleine hasn't seen the girls since Emrey was born, so she was excited to spend time with them as well.  There was no warming up period needed, the girls chatted their Nanny's ear off as soon as we picked her up from the airport.  That was a plus.

It was a beautiful day outside today and I thought it would be perfect to take Madeleine and the girls to feed the koi at Moanalua Gardens.  The girls absolutely love going there and it doesn't drain the bank account taking them!  When we arrived and went to purchase some food to feed the koi the little shop was closed.  The sign said "Closed on Monday 5/28 for Memorial Day."  I was confused because it was Sunday, but there was nothing we could do.  Riley was terribly bummed out.  We still walked over to the pond so the girls could look at the fish and ducks, which Hadley was excited about.  Riley wanted nothing to do with just looking at the fish.  Riley wanted to feed them.  She was also bummed because normally we get a smoothie after feeding the koi, and she knew that wasn't happening with the shop being closed.  So, while Riley pouted, Hadley had a blast.  

Hadley was obsessed with this duck!
