First trip to the Zoo

We headed to the honolulu zoo with grandpa and this was Chloe's first time to a zoo! Chloe had so much fun and it was so nice that most exhibits had a little step up for kids to use and be able to see better. We saw tons of animals and it's hard to say which one was her favorite I like they all were!!

Halloween Day

We had lots of fun and Grandpa was able to join in for all the fun since he arrived the night before. Chloe helped carve the pumpkin by pulling out some seeds. Afterwards we walked to the closest neighborhood park were Chloe played with neighbors and got to decorate a little pumpkin to keep. Once it got dark all the families headed out for trick or treat we went to about 15 houses and Chloe got lots of candy mostly for mom and Dad but did get some crackers and M&M that she will be able to have. Her favorite part of the night was knocking on the doors and as she was doing so she would say knock-knock

Stroller strides Halloween class

The mom/baby exercise class had extra plans on the day before halloween. The kids all wore their costumes and after class they played games and recieved little prizes. There was a pumpkin pinyta, musical pumpkins, pin the nose on the pumpkin and bean bag toss into the cut out pumpkin eyes and nose. Chloe had a lot of fun!

First Haircut

Well the time had come, I've been debating cutting Chloe's hair for a month or more and I did it this morning. Her bangs where getting long well into her eyes and the hairclips only survive a short time in her hair before she pulls them out. So I cut her bangs today and she seemed to like it, we looked in the mirror together and I asked if she liked her new haircut and she said YES!

Makapuu Lighthouse

We did a little hike with the mom's group to a lighthouse on the other side of the island. There were some nice views of the ocean and the lighthouse from the top view point. We also had a surprise encounter about 1/2 way up the trail the show LOST was fliming, the set was facing the ocean so we couldn't see it but lots of workers and even got to see the actor that plays Hurley, I got a picture of his back. I felt like a crazy fan when I saw him!

Dole pineapple plantation

Yesterday we headed out with our new friends Heidi and her 2 kids Toby (same age as Chloe) and Emma (3 1/2) to check out the pineapple plantation. We saw several varieties that are grown in different parts of the world, had a train ride around some of the plantation where we saw many different crops like bananas, starfruit, sugar cane and of coarse pineapples. We also tried their pineapple soft serve ice cream which was a little tart but still yummy!

United Way 5K (3.1 miles)

Today Chloe and I completed our second 5K since arriving here in Hawaii. Chloe was a good racer and we finished with a good time and placed first in our age division. Lots of moms from exercise class also ran, some with their strollers and some without.
