love this sound

I was in my bedroom this morning, doing on of my MOST favorite things...
folding laundry (NOT REALLY), and I heard the wood chimes outside my window.
This is one of my favorite things to listen to. I can always tell just about how windy it is outside, by how quickly these things are moving around. It is such a peaceful sound to me.
Reminds me of my favorite place, which always seems to have a perfect breeze blowing.
SO at least if I can't BE THERE, it can (for a moment) sound like I am!
This is my second set of chimes. The first set we brought back from Maui, were broken in a BIG storm last year, so I had my parents pick me up some new ones on their last trip to Hawaii.
I hope to always have a set of these hangin' around my home!

a WET visit to the zoo

Monday morning our friends called to see if we wanted to meet them at the Zoo.
I was a bit hesitant because it had been raining, actually pouring all morning.
But we got layered up, grabbed our snacks & umbrellas and headed out for a WILD time.
Although it was VERY wet, it was such a fun time with friends and definitely worth it!

Our 1st visit was to see the WHITE alligator

Kaipo was definitely intrigued

One of our other favorites was the baby giraffe

I am not sure how much fun Ash had

but the rest of the WILD animals all had a blast!

And we got a season pass so we can visit lots more times...when it is NOT raining!
