Exploring the Honolulu Zoo and Going on a Pony Ride - Oahu, Hawaii Vacation Vlog

The Honolulu Zoo in Hawaii is not the largest zoo the girls and I have been to. In fact it might be one of the smallest. That said it was very popular and perfect for an escape from the beach here on the island for our little girls. The zoo was perfect for kids!

We start the vlog with a trip to the zoo, exploring, and having fun. Then we traveled up to the North Shore just outside of Haleiwa and visited North Shore Stables. They offer horseback rides along the beach, ATVing, and they also offer Pony Rides for 2 years and up, and horsemanship classes for little kids. Very few places offer this for kids under 8 years old on the island so I was very grateful for our family.

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
