We were very excited about taking Noah to the Henry Doorly Zoo since there are no zoos in Kauai!
Noah was having the best time throwing himself backwards off of Ely's shoulders
Looking through the "noculars"
They had a special dinosaur exhibit while we were there and since Noah loves dinosaurs, Ely bought the tickets for the exhibit as a surprise for Noah :)
We had a little photo shoot before we went into the exhibit
RAWR!
Love these faces :-D
He was a little nervous when we saw the first dinosaur...
The dinosaurs had timers so they would periodically start moving and making noises, but Noah warmed up to them quickly and then wanted to wait at every dinosaur until we saw it move.
He must have really been missing the ocean by this point in our travels, because when we found a sand pit where kids could dig for fossils, Noah didn't want to leave!
Noah also went around the entire sand pit and "cleaned up" every bucket he could find!
Looking down the hole for the prairie dogs he had been chasing!
I don't know how well you can see the prairie dog to the right of Noah in this picture, but he was about 2 seconds away from being picked up by a crazy 2 1/2 year old!
Noah and Daddy went for a ride on the carousel (another thing we don't have on our island) and Noah had to pick the rooster to ride on!
He had a great time and loved waving at Mommy every time they went passed
The Kauai rooster...Noah loves to chase them (and apparently "ride" on them) but for some reason he is really worried that they are going to come into his room at night. I think it's because they stand right outside his window in the mornings and crow ridiculously loudly
Petting zoo
Brushing the goat
Noah must have felt at home in the ape house because he decided to hangout in this window for several minutes
Just relaxing at the zoo
Rosenblatt Stadium is completely torn down but they created this new "mini" ballpark with some of the old seats. We have no idea what they are actually going to use this for, but it was neat to see!
