Honolulu Zoo

While Aaron was on duty I went to check out the Honolulu Zoo.

There were a few animals that were out, happy to have their pictures taken.

But were a lot of animals fast asleep too.

Snoozling.

Napping.

Passed out.

Or just ignoring me in general.

Canadian Squirrels

I know I have mentioned this before on my blog but I still can't get over the fact that the squirrels in Canada are black. How did that happen? How come none of them have migrated down to Rochester?

Of course, they are just as chubby and cute as the ones in our backyard. We stood and took pictures and video of this fella gnawing on a peanut for quite awhile.

Walnut Hill

Aaron got tickets for the Walnut Hill Horse and Carriage Competitions so we went today.

It was a good day because there were mini ponies competing! I had no idea the little guys could pull carts and wagons.

It was the cutest thing! I wonder if I could keep one in my backyard?

Pony Kisses

Aaron and I were at the mall and I start noticing random animals scattered about.

Finally we realized that Lollypop Farm was having a telethon at the mall.

There was a mini pony there that you could pay $1 for a kiss. I bought two.

Year of the Ox

Happy Lunar New Year! It's the year of the Ox! That's me! It's my year!

(I know this is a picture of a cow with horns. I couldn't find one I have taken of an ox/)

I told Aaron I should get gifties today since it's my year. I don't think I convinced him.

Warning: my lunar sign is the ox and my zodiac sign is the taurus. Not that I am into astrology, but that seems like a whole lot of stubborness in one person.

Giant Pandas in Beijing

Yesterday was extra awesome, because I went to the Beijing Zoo to see the giant pandas! Ack! They are ridiculously cute.

They just roll around and revel in their overwhelming cuteness.

Panda bear buffet.

Domo and Piglet were not impressed by the cuteness.

So excited to see the pandas!

I uploaded some video I shot of the pandas on 1000 Words Blog. Go look if you think you can stand the cuteness.

There were a few other animals... but they weren't pandas...

"Toss me snack!"

Bear butt.

Uh yeah... you could touch the zebras!

Shark attack.

Snails and toads

Aaron's family is in town to celebrate his mom's birthday and we took them to Sonnenberg Gardens. While everyone else was admiring the gardens I was oogling the oodles of snails that were crawling out from under the bushes after the rain.

I couldn't get over how many there were. I would bend over to take a picture of one and oooh there's another - snap - oh there's another - snap -hey look another - snap

I liked this mama and baby snail pair.

Yeah there were a lotta snails and I took a lotta pictures. Probably around thirty to forty.

Oh and there were super teeny tiny toads too.

This was by far my favorite Super Bowl commerical.

ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!
