Although it's Wednesday, we headed on over to gymnastics class, because we are going to miss Friday's class since we'll be on vacation! We're heading over to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel with Grandma and Grandpa to play tourists for a few days!
Luckily, Papa came home last night, so he joined us in class today. One thing that I noticed was that the kids were a lot bigger! Even the obstacle course was much more advanced.
Here's Gigi climbing on a rope ladder! This was her first time going on a rope ladder.
Here's Gigi on two beams that were angled outward...a first.
Then there was the raised beam! Gigi really tried to walk across it just holding Papa's hand, but she was a bit scared. I stopped filming to give her another hand to hold. With the both of us on either side of her, Gianna walked across the raised beam with no problems!
Gigi even went over to the rope to swing on it. Papa loaded her up, and then she held on all by herself!
After a long nap, we headed over to Waikiki to spend time at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. We changed into our swimsuits and headed right to the pool.
Here's Gigi playing "horsey" on me in the pool.
Gigi would let go of my neck and slide down to my arm so that she could kick and semi-paddle her arms.
She's practicing her dog-paddle stroke.
Gigi LOVES the water!
She could not stop smiling and laughing.
Well, she did stop smiling when I let her go. Gigi had to resort to floating. :)
Papa kept checking her capillary reflex to see if she was okay to swim. But once he gave us the sign, we took Gigi out to rest. Here she is hanging out on the lounge chair.
Gigi was totally content to rest with her strawberry smoothie.
Grandma came over to help her adjust her cup so that she could continue sipping her treat.
Grandpa and Grandma walked Gianna back up to the hotel room to get changed for dinner.
Here she is running in the hallway.
This video clip show you just how happy Gigi was.
Papa had brought some champagne from his collection to share with Grandpa and Grandma. We went over to their suite to have some champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries before dinner. Grandpa also brought some edamame. :) Gigi went straight for the strawberries.
The chocolate coating was a special treat for Gigi.
The strawberries were really good!
We had dinner at Orchid's at the Halekulani Hotel. They have the best mac & cheese!
Auntie Pamela from Halekulani came over to say hello to Gigi. She sent over a delicious amuse bouche and an intermezzo of pomegranate sorbet that Gigi and Grandpa loved!
We passed on dessert at Orchids. We walked over to Beard Papa's and ordered cream puffs to go.
We went back to Grandpa and Grandma's suite to enjoy them there. :)
