Hawaii was AMAZING

It was a great vacation. Hawaii was beautiful and warm and sunny. I miss it already.


Our first stop was at the Dole Plantation and we got to eat some juicy pineapples and try some pinapple ice cream. Perfect on a hot day.



Then we stopped by a shrimp stand on the way to our hotel. Garlic and butter shrimp. YUM. It was tasty... but Jeffrey and I did suffer some side effects from this meal...:(


Polynesian Culture Center. Our tour guide demonstrated how to climb a cocunut tree. And we got to eat some yummy spam musubi.


We stayed at the Hilton in Oahu...Thanks to Christine and Jun! The hotel had tropical birds and penguins! And they kept the penguins with the turtles...weird.



Our catamaran trip. It was very relaxing but we didn't get to see any whales.


We finally got to walk along the Waikiki beach and try their snow cones. It was a great way to cool off.


Imagine waking up to this view isn't it breathtaking? I could have gotten used to this.

More pictures to come later of the rest of our trip to Kuai. We do finally get into the ocean in Kuai :)

Videos of Cookie and Foo Foo

Our bunny obstacle course... It didn't work as we planned. The bunnies were very confused and they didn't get that much exercise out of it because my sister and I had to lead them through it with a carrot.  Oh and they never did make it over the last obstacle.  My sister titled this video 'Lazy Fat Rabbits.'


Chainwhip said that Xiaozhuzhu likes to watch bunny videos on YouTube... So I decided to take a video of Cookie and Foo Foo chewing. They're big pigs. Did you know Cookie and Foo Foo chew with their mouth open? It's pretty funny...I guess most animals do since they need to rotate their jaws to chew.


Oh and this video is the result of our badly made obstacle course...poor cookie.

Bunny Jumping Competitions

My sister and I came across some pretty cool bunny jumping competitions online while she was visiting this past weekend.  I've never heard of bunnies competing like this but it was pretty impressive. These rabbits seem incredibly smart!  
  

It inspired us to make our own make-shift obstacle course for Cookie and Foo Foo.  I wanted to post a video of my rabbits and their obstacle course but I'm still figuring all that video stuff out.  It'll come soon.  But I did find a video of a bunny jumping through a course that would be a pretty good representation of how my bunnies would look if I took them to a crazy competition.   The bunny is a lop like Foo Foo and their personalities seem pretty similar so you can pretend it's her :).
