Hawaii Zoo

Dallas's Fall break was so nice! I loved having her home for a week. I got a little teary (which is not that surprising lately) dropping her off at school again this morning. Nathan had Wednesday off and we went to the Zoo & Planetarium in Hilo (the other side of the island). It was a long drive but we made lots of stops! And we had good company. We even went the Southern way so we could go by a black sand beach and pick up Black Sand for my sister-in-law Paula:). But I totally got in trouble taking sand from the beach. A Hawaiian lady said she was going to watch me while I dumped out each little bag and that she knows how many I had. I felt like I was in 3rd grade again!! Anyways, it was really embarrassing. I guess they think that if I took the sand, there wouldn't be any left. Oh well! I will have to be more sneaky next time. The zoo had the first white tiger I have seen. And the planetarium show was supposed to be about starts. It turned out it was about Mummies:) But luckily, there weren't too many scary pictures of dead bodies. Brenna was the one with all of the questions.

On our way to church Sunday, Nathan hurt his back and seriously couldn't move for a day. He has been home recuperating but today he went to work! We are crossing our fingers he will get better. Our memory foam bed is perfect for me, but not so good for his back:(.
