Labor Day Weekend

We had a fun-filled Labor Day Weekend this year. We had to make up for the lack of festivities we partook in on the 4th of July, so we planned something for every day of Eric's 4 day weekend. On Friday, we went to a birthday party at Hickam Beach. After the party was over, we all changed into our suits and went for a swim in the ocean. The water was so clear, and the waves aren't very big at all at this beach, so Macie had a blast in her float!

We also ventured to the Honolulu Zoo on Sunday. We thought we weren't going to be able to make it....the zoo is in the middle of Waikiki and it is very very busy on Sundays in Waikiki. Don't all the tourists go to church on Sunday??? Wait... Ha Ha The girls had a great time. There is a really good petting zoo here and the girls both enjoyed petting the goats (yes, we sanitized Macie from head to toe when she was done), and there was a really cool koi pond that you could crawl inside of and see the giant koi swimming all around....Macie loved standing and watching the big orange fish swim by!

Monday we ended up going to a beach near our house. Not our first choice, b/c the surf is pretty rough, and there are a lot of rocks, but the beach is quiet and we got to enjoy the outside! We hope you all had a good weekend.....I know most everyone watched football....we have to get up really early to enjoy the games and Emerson doesn't like it if we cut into her TV time on Saturday morning. We get to catch a few games here and there. Football frenzy isn't quite as enthusiastic here as it is in some places we've lived! Imagine that....how could the fans of the Rainbow Warriors of the University of Hawaii stand up to Sooner Nation? ???? Sorry the pictures ended up out of order....I guess I should upload the pics first, then write my dissertation next time? Anyway, you can get the gist of what went on in Hawaii for the Baronis on Labor Day...Enjoy!!
