The Honolulu Zoo

Getting a better view of the monkeys

Checking out the animals

Monkeys!

Big turtles that say, "Hey Dude" according to Eli

Reluctantly saying cheese when he would rather be looking at the turtles

The bully peacock who was making sure to get all the food the little kids were dropping their lunch

Looking at the lions

The boys. 

  On Saturday morning we headed out to the Honolulu Zoo, which was great fun.  The zoo is really nice and it made sense for us to buy the annual pass because it will more than pay for itself in 1 more trip.

Sunday we had to move hotels because Navy lodging was sold out and didn't have any more room for us so we headed to Army lodging which is older, but bigger, closer to Robert's work and perfectly fine for what we need (thank goodness I booked it when I did because now they are full).  No good news on the housing front.  There are no houses currently available and no one has given their 30 days notice to vacate the home yet, so we are looking at least 5 more weeks for the new army housing or possibly mid February for ghetto old army housing that will be torn down in a year.  We have a meeting with Navy housing tomorrow so we'll see what they say.  Ugh.  I just keep praying for contentment.  We have a roof over our heads and some big time inconveniences and stresses, but overall we are healthy and there are millions of people who have it waaaay worse than we do.  We have Army lodging booked for the next month, so this is where we will be for awhile.

Otherwise we will continue to explore the island when we can and get out to pass the time quickly.  I'm thankful baby girl won't be joining us until June so we have some time to get situated.

Happy Monday!
