A day in the sun

What do you do when you're husband's away at work all day?? PLAY!! Well, that's what me and Sandra Atkinson, my neighbor, decided to do. Yesterday was a holiday and so no school but of course our husbands had to work the entire day, but we wanted to make the most of a beautiful day.
So......

We packed our 'person and our property' (personal joke) into the car and drove down to the Kualoa ranch. We walked around and let the babies mingle with nature and the animals.

This is Soccer the pig. He got the name soccer because he was following us everywhere and so i decided that he was our personal tour guide and that we should name him. This is the conversation that followed.

What should we name him?
Stalker.
Soccer? That's a dumb name, why would you call a pig soccer?
No, STALKER! Coz he keeps following us.
Ohhhh, i thought you said soccer. We should call him Soccer.
Ok, his name is soccer.

But this little pig followed us everywhere!! If we ever got far away, he'd squeal and run after us, like he was sad we'd left him behind. He gave Malachi a kiss on the foot - with his teeth!! Didn't do any damage, just got his foot all muddy and pig germy.

So we looked around at the animals.....

Malachi rode a horse....

And we found this really cool place to take pictures.....

And then we got slush-puppies (i swear that's what they're called) which Malachi LOVED.....

And after all that we hit the beach!! I'd never swum at Chinaman's hat before, it's really cool. The water was super calm and so Malachi was really into it and just sat on my lap and splashed around.

We then attempted to use the timer to take a picture of the 4 of us....easier said then done. See for yourself.
What's with your head Sandra....

Wrong way Sandra...You're in the shadow Sandra.....

We decided that this was decent enough, and gave up....after 30min of trying.

All in all it was a fantastic day that could only have been made better by the presence of our husbands. Having said that, we sure did have fun without them! Thanks Sandra and Austin.
