Eliza is 5 years old today! Hard to believe that when Aunty Christy met Uncle Scott, Eliza was only a few months old!

At the birthday girl's request, we spent the day at the Honolulu Zoo ("Are we there yet? Are we there yet? WHEN ARE WE GONNA GET THERE?!") In case you haven't been there in awhile, the zoo is HUGE. We had so much fun! Lots of walking, skipping, and climbing; visiting the animals, having snacks and making friends -- in short, Aunty Christy is too tired for paragraphs and the rest of today's entry will be told in pictures.

Elephants, of course!

Peacock encounter


Making friends with the greatest of ease ...


She ordered it herself, handled it herself, and ate it all by herself!


A very patient goat!


A picture of Eliza in the Goat Habitat in August 2009, the last time we took her to the zoo.


When we got home, we had a Gummy Frog hunt ...


But of course the Smart Girl found all the frogs!


♥ What a fun day! ♥

NOTE: The camera LOVES Eliza but Eliza does not love the camera! She scampered away most times she saw Aunty Christy taking aim. More pics can be found at my Flickr page.
