Sea Life Park

Here are some pics from Sea Life Park. Ady loves animals. It's so cute to take her to these places. She is really funny, especially now she thinks that anything with 4 legs makes a barking noise! She see's the animal(even chickens), points at it, and will make a kind of oupf oup sound. She was very curious about all the fish and marine life at the park, and you could tell she was completely enjoying herself even though it was a very hot Hawaii summer day!
Adam & Kasey showing their inner child by riding the dolphins they could afford!(to swim with the dolphins was over $150 each!)
Adyson loved the aquarium.  Or should we say loved to stick her face to the Aquarium glass?  At one point a puffer fish was looking in the window above Ady.  She was pointing at it, and whining, so I lifted her up to it, then she looked at it in the face and decided she didn't really want to be that close to it and was pushing away with her hands very hard, so I put her down and she would go back to pointing and whining to be lifted up again. We tried again, and got the same result.  It was very comical. 

Petting the turtle at the kids touching pool.  By the way, "petting" has taken on new meaning to Adyson lately, its not "just a touch" anymore.  She has to make sure to really pet the whole thing and she's not afraid to be rough with it either.

More  dolphins-at the dolphin show-these ones seemed huge. They were bigger than I remember seeing at Sea World.  Adam informed me that it's because they are from the Pacific Ocean and they are 3-4 times larger. Good thing I have such a knowledgeable guy around!  Which I will add that he has gone back to school...so he is gone to study at night and I am here updating our blog.  I will miss my hubbie this semester.  It was so nice to have him home watching Adyson and making sure I had lunch ready when I came home for my break, and doing lots of other helpful things this summer.  But now Adam is taking a hard finance class and a 9 credit class called "the business core."  I basically consists of being put into groups, coming up with and creating a real business-yes real as in real life(any ideas?)- and a bunch of work to make your group and business profitable thru learning marketing, finances, entrepreneurship, HR, management etc.  Adam was selected as a President for his group-that means he will be even more busy!  But we are hoping that it gets him in some good networking with some of the professors and people involved with the Entrepreneur center here at BYUH, and can help us out in the long run.  Since, if you don't know already, Adam would like to buy his own resort and run it someday.  Kind of like the one he worked for in Minnesota with cabins, boats, and a lake for fishing.

Ady will soon learn that it doesn't matter how many legs an animal has, they ALL bark (including dolphins, turtles, and sasquatches - No joke, true story) hah! Anyway, too bad Adam has to go back to school, I'm currently enjoying my life as a house-husband, I'm sure Alison enjoys me packing her lunch, visiting her on her lunch break, cooking meals for us, and running errands 8-). Actually I'm pretty busy looking for a job, but it's nice to have some extra time together. Anyway, those are some nice photos and we hope your program at BYUH is going well Adam.

One idea for your business, Adam, is to create a service for Hawaii locals to get discounts at the last minute (if still available) for local attractions like sail boat excursions, tours, guided hikes, etc. - just an idea.
