Today in Waikiki May 12, 2009

We had another fun day in Waikiki. We went to the Waikiki aquarium and then took a taxi to WalMart to do some shopping. We had to buy another stroller because the other one didn't recline and she falls asleep when we go out and her little head kept bobbing around. She loves the new stroller and didn't want to get out of it!
We ate dinner at the Cheesecake Factory and Mika had her very first ice cream sundae!! She was so excited, it was very funny.
On the walk back to the hotel this evening we stopped to watch a performance of Hawaiian dancers.
Tomorrow's the BIG day....Mika will receive her American passport and social security number!! We'll also get to see some old friends that used to live on Okinawa and now live in Honolulu. Jef and Amanda adopted their daughter two years ago, and we've stayed in touch since we met them. She found our adoption agency for us and helped us find Mika!
Hawaii is a very special place for us, and it feels nice to be here again.

    I was wondering if you wouldn't mind posting or emailing something about how Mika is adjusting to a new family life. We are looking into adopting from Taiwan. My email address is wwoodse@comcast.net Thank you so much!
