Waikiki Aquarium

The Waikiki Aquarium is a great attraction for families and children in the Honolulu/Waikiki area. It is small and quaint but to the point. Although, the young ones dictate the tour and the speed of the tour we were out of there in just an hour. It is the perfect amonut of time to view the exhibits, hold a hermit crab in your palm and eat a snack lunch. There is not snack bar, but there is a large, grass field where the kids can burn off some extra energy or have a picnic. All-in-all the price was right and the time was priceless.

Located in Waikiki, Children under4 are free, admission is $6 with kama`aina ID!

The "catch" of a lifetime

Lohena's first fishing experience

Marcus' first catch...ever!

A catch Marcus did all by himself. (He caught 4 that day!)

 

In sequence

For Christmas this year, all Marcus asked for was a fishing pole. What 3 yr old asks for that? Well, he got his wish, a Buzz Lightyear pole to be exact, among many other things, and he made us all proud with his very first catch. While Lohena ate all the bait, my brother Kahi and Marcus patiently awaited for that single, most-fulfilling "bite". I couldn't believe how calm and focused he was when it came down to it. Kahi gave him instructions and he listened and followed. Granted the fish were so small, but the experience and memories were huge and will last a life time. Thank you uncle Kahi for taking us, we will never forget.

Mrcus says he needs to take his daddy back and teach him how to fish. :O)
