Waikiki Aquarium, Zoo & Paradise Cove Luau

Today we decided to check out some fun places for Makayla since she has been such a trooper going to all the places mommy, daddy, grandma, and grandpa wanted to go. We started off early in the morning going to the Waikiki Aquarium. Makayla had a blast seeing all the sea animals.

Makayla getting ready to go in and see all the animals.

Wow! Those are some big fish behind Makayla. I'm surprised she wasn't scared.

Here she is getting to hold some hermit crabs. She made daddy go first and then she wasn't afraid any more.

Hawaii's state fish and grandpa's favorite; humuhumunukunukuapua'a.

After having so much fun at the aquarium we decided to go across the street to the Honolulu zoo. This is where grandpa took uncle all the time, but a lot has changed since then.
Here we are entering the zoo.

After having so much fun looking at all the animals in the morning Mak took a nap before heading out to her first luau at Paradise Cove. This is the same place that mommy and daddy went to on their honeymoon.
This lady made me a pretty lei headband. Mahalo!
Here she is sporting here new turtle tattoo and being a ham.

Here is Mak watching the ceremony to take the pig out of the ground and get it ready for dinner.

Having a cold one since I've been running around all day.

I had a blast at my first luau. Thanks everyone! Aloha!
