Of all the people in our round boat, only Khyla and I got totally submersed in water. TWICE! I'm going to look at waterfalls differently now! The boys just got splashed on. I don't have my shirt on underneath -- it was drenched and sticking to my body.

It's almost 10 p.m. and we are aching on every part of our body! Time to go home and pack. Good thing we got princess parking parallel to the entrance gates. Sweet!

What a beautiful day!

KHYLA'S KONNECTION: Ho'e and Keali'i Day 3

It's Cedar Point day! The Hawaiians were actually up before me! So they took Keala on a morning walk while I got ready and cleaned the kitchen. Big surprise -- Ikaika stayed home with me.

We left at 10:30 a.m.!

KHYLA'S KONNECTION: Ho'e and Keali'i Evening 2

Ho'olaulea at the Brlas backyard!

Steak, rice, mom's potato salad, cheddar cheese brats in a bun, hot dogs, sour apples, iced tea and Coors Light






All we need is an in-ground pool and some tiki torches and we're set!

Hey, where are the stinkin' thunderstorms?? Ah-yah!

Uncle Keali'i took Keala on her midnight walk...

...while Uncle Ho'e took Ikaika. Unfortunately he put "da stops" several times! Ikaika, that is!

KHYLA'S KONNECTION: Ho'e and Keali'i Day 2

All the weather channels said it was suppose to thunderstorm in our area so we decided to go Cedar Point tomorrow. It will work out for the best since we all woke up LATE! We are thinking we are going to relax in the backyard and have a BBQ! When the storm comes we are going to watch movies. And go sleep early!!

But first, Ms. Slave Driver is putting the boys to work... nice job!

KHYLA'S KONNECTION: Ho'e and Keali'i Day 1

Goodbye Lanai...

Aloha Cleveland and Elyria, Ohio!
I can't believe I was up early enough to meet the gang at the airport! It's because I was so excited I couldn't really fall asleep. I cleaned instead. Khyla chose to grab some breakfast at McDonald's before heading home.

Keala was so ecstatic to see everyone! She looked like a little puppy jumping up and down and wagging her tail wildly. Ikaika came out and sniffed everyone before running back in his crate. But it didn't take him long to venture out in the dining room -- he smelled the food! And he stuck around!

Keali'i and Keala

Ikaika and Khyla
After settling into their rooms and taking showers, we all passed out and took a much needed nap. We woke up 4-5 hours later and watched Iron Man 1 on Blu-Ray. That inspired us to go out.

We drove to Avon Commons and Crocker Park in search of beanies for the boys. Keali'i ended up buying two beanies, two shoes, slippers and socks! With all the good smells around the stores we ended up going to Champps for dinner.



After Ho'e and Keali'i walked over to Giant Eagle while Khyla and I hung out at Borders. We also bought tickets for Iron Man 2. I was kinda sad that we had a small theater to watch the movie. It really makes a difference for action films! But they all loved it all the same.

We were driving home at midnight and decided to do some food shopping at Walmart. Ho'e is cooking fried chicken and rice for us to eat tomorrow. Cedar Point food is always expensive.

Don't forget the dogs... a lovely night for a walk.

Skype time! Who-misses-who more? Us or Tita?

We all relaxed and ended the night watching part of Up. You know what tomorrow is! Pray for good weather!
