Team R&B decided to bring the grandkids to visit an old friend at the Aquarium. Yes Ho'ailona aka KP2 is back on island. When they arrived he was sleeping until one of the handlers called out Hoa! He awoke immediately, and turned towards the woman. He is a big boy and just finished his molting.
For Team R&B this brought back so many fond memories of him and being part of the team of care takers in his early years back in 2009.
The handler explained he is almost completely blind and only follows sounds. They brought out a bucket of fish for him, but he wasn't hungry so he dove into the water. He will always have a special place in our hearts.
After visiting the aquarium they went over to Kapiolani Park to check out the birds. Their grandson told them the park with the statue of liberty. LOL Its the statue of Queen Kapiolani, too cute'
They fed the ducks, an egret and some pigeons. They saw about 40 ring necks flying around. A little rain made the birds sly to the trees.
While in Honolulu they got a text of a seal at plains. So when they headed back they made their way over. They were happy to find KG89 Huakai high up on shore. The beach was crowded but she was resting peacefully. They noted she is looking quite large these days, beautiful and healthy.
Lastly they hurried over to pokai to check in on RH76 Kala. There she was about 90% molted looking lovely. Thankfully her molt is moving along so she can head out soon to get some food.
