Have you seen us?

Went to the Zoo!!
For Keilani's birthday.
Had fun seeing these.
But had more fun doing this.
and this,
and this,
and this.
Always something in this boys mouth!!!
Mom, do I have to?
What now!!
Mom, it's embarrassing!!

Take one of me!!!!

Ahhhhhhh!!!

Just get over there (grunt, grunt, grunt, grunt, grunt, grunt, notice the only one who was OK with it?)
OF COURSE- every where we go something gets broken- just a LITTLE embarrassing...

It is really hard to take photos at the zoo, every time you want to take one, you just get the back sides of them, it gets old after awhile. I would ask politely to turn and look at me so I could snap a shot, Politely they would turn around and smile at me in disgust. (haters)

(Note)---I had to put this on here, it is not my favorite, my favorite is when they have their get up on, their faces on, and their tongues out the whole time, we have a lot of video of great ones, but too lazy to find them. I put this on for all the people who have never seen the Haka- so when I talk about it in this post you will get a good idea.

The things I want to remember about this trip is all the funny things said, so here I go-

Leila- Dad, look there's a mouse. ( squirl running across the road).

Lavi- Dad, there is a monkey. (gorilla, really).

Katalina- He look there are our cousins. (looking a the gorilla's).

Elaiasi- Dada sio (look) bum bum (looking at the back end of a monkey).

Keilani- mom, there is a ox- (looking at a buffalo).

Aanya- Mom, when we move, please lets not move to where their is any farms- the smell is killing me.

Maka- Look Elaiasi- lets go look at the hippo- (it was a rhinoceros).

As you can read, we definitely need to learn our animals, guess we defiantly need to go back to the zoo, SOON.

Here is where the haka comes in, in the Islands, the warriors would do the haka before going into war, I don't speak Maori, just Tongan, but I do know that the first line means, life and death. Anywho- Every time he would go up to the fierce beasts, Elaiasi would stand right next to the glass and start doing the haka dance, It was too funny, and he loved the attention. (Wonder where they get that from?).
Then he would straight up in his mean Tongan voice tell the beasts- hey "u" ha'u, or in Engish, hey you- come.... Guaranteed that the beast where too afraid of myyyii warrror.

Everywhere we go we get a lot of attention, whether, we are doing performances, or just walking down the road, or anywhere, we just get noticed, It might be cuz I have the most beautiful family in the world,(yes, I am biast), or that they all have such long hair, or that they all match, or maybe cuz I have 5 girls in a row, but mostly just cuz I have too many children. People kept starring at us, as we would stroll by, stop and talk to us, or even take pitchers of us. I honestly felt like they all came to the zoo to look at our monkeys, I felt like we stole the show.. again.... :}

I am soo many posts behind, I will try to be a better blogger,( to busy with life), you know how it goes right?
