Today was a jam packed day! At 8 AM, Gianna and I went to get Papa from the BMW dealership. His car needed fixing. Once we picked him up, we went to the Honolulu Club. Papa wanted to work out, and I wanted to check out the day care center. Auntie Joyce sends Mackenzie there all the time.

Gianna had fallen asleep in the car, so I stayed in the car with her. She slept for about an hour and a half. Once she got up, we all went to see the day care center. Auntie Lena works there in the weekday mornings. They had a lot of stuff there. The place seems nice, and so does Auntie Lena.

After the Honolulu Club, we rushed home to get ready for swimming lessons and to go to Sherwoods for the Team 8X picnic. Papa took these pictures.
Our class only had two other parent & child pairs.

Uncle Ben is "washing" Gianna's hair.

Gigi is practicing her kicking technique.

This is a paddling exercise.

Can you believe that Gigi is holding on to the pool wall all by herself? Look at the white fingertips.

I'm blowing bubbles to show Gigi what she is supposed to do one day. She LOVED this. She thought it was very funny to see me dunking my face in the water to blow out bubbles.

And, here's the final product...baby dog paddling!

We made it to the beach by 12:30 PM, and we stayed for about an hour. Gianna got to splash around in the ocean, but we didn't go all the way in, because of the Portugese Man of War. :( Auntie Marion said that she got stung!

We were warned, but we still played in the ocean.

First, we just hung out by the shoreline.

Then we took a dip in the water.

After we played in the ocean, we took a COLD shower. Then Gigi hung out with Papa in her cover-up to keep nice and warm.

When we got home, Gianna and I got cleaned up.

This was the second time I brushed Gianna's teeth with baby toothpaste and the finger brush. She loves it! Before this, I was just using a wet washcloth. She didn't care for the wet washcloth.

Then Auntie Maile called to invite us over for a play date. We strolled on over to her house and played there till 5 PM. When we got home, Gigi took a long nap!

Papa washed my car. :) Then we had a late dinner, and watched Shrek 3! Papa is AMAZING!
