Trip to the Zoo!

Aliyah and I went to the Zoo today.  We had such a good time seeing the animals.  Towards the end of our trip, Aliyah played on the new play ground.  They play ground is amazing!  It's the largest (and newest) on the island. 

Hawaii State Flower is the (yellow) Hibiscus.  Here is a pictue of

a hibiscus tree with pink flowers.  I just thought this was a beautiful

picture.  There is a fern to the left, also yellow and red tei leaf plant. 

Hawaiian Hawk, see picture below.

We are such a special island to have the Hawaiian Hawk here. 

This little girl has her eye on the picture below.  Birds and chickens!

Aliyah loves birds, she points to them and says "bir". 

She loves chickens, and roosters too.  We have them loose in the back yard where every

morning, Aliyah and I look watch them for a few minutes. 

Aliyah can crow like a rooster!  It is sooooo cute!!

Birds and chickens eating grain from the ground.

Aliyah loves ducks.  She can say "duck".

Cute little turtle.

I love this tree.  When I grew up, there was a tree like this on our property.

We had 21 acers and called it "The Property".  I played there almost everyday.

This was my favorite tree on that property.  My sister and I would pull off the leaves and pretend they were swords and other things, lol.

Aliyah also loves parrots.  She has a book that there is a great picture of a

parrot, she knows exactlly which page it is on and turns to it all the time. 

She is so smart!!

Beautiful!!  This male peacock was walking around the Zoo showing off his

beautiful feathers!  Very impressive Mr. Peacock!
