Honolulu Zoo

We headed to Waikiki early so we could spend the day doing different things and have plenty of time to get to the wedding. We went to the Honolulu zoo. It was pretty much like any other zoo only a little smaller. The trees were huge and so pretty. We went to a street fair outside the zoo and I bought all kinds of stuff. I paid $39 for the most ridiculous backpack. It's worth $10 but it was made by an 88 year old woman who comes to the fair every month and spends all her time in between sewing. Her daughter was with her. She has five daughters and they take turns staying with her because a couple of months ago she fell under her table and had to be rescued by the guy who runs the hot dog booth. How can you not buy something with a story like that?

Sitting in the awesome tree. I forgot a Sean story yesterday. When we were walking down the volcano we passed a Japanese couple. (There are tons of Japanese everywhere here) Sean abruptly stopped to play with the grass in his hand and he bent down. The Japanese thought he was bowing, they came to an abrupt halt and bowed to Sean and said something. It was so cute. Don laughed because after living in Japan he said it is so ingrained in their culture that when someone bows you return the bow. The look on their face was priceless. What the crap is this kid doing bowing but OK, we will go with it.

Sean being Koi, I mean coy.

They had a petting zoo at the zoo which Sean liked. Lots of friendly goats.

We went to the mall and ate at a Japanese steak house. It was good. Very different than the ones in Utah they put sauce on everything. It was much more flavorful. Very good. Afterwards we hung out at the beach so we wouldn't be late. I had this fear of flying to Hawaii for a wedding and missing it.
