Tonight we went out to dinner with Uncle John and Auntie Amy who are visiting from the Big Island.

We had a great meal at Hy's Steakhouse.

Today we stopped off at Fisher, and I picked up some paints for Gigi.

Gigi liked painting with the brushes, but the easel seemed a bit too tall for her.

I've got to remember to take a picture of the finished product next time.

I took Gigi to the Diamond Head Theatre to see The Wizard of Oz. Cameras are not allowed so I snapped this picture with my iPhone. :)

Last night, she watched the DVD of the movie for the first time, and she stayed awake for the whole movie! This afternoon, she saw the live performance, and she loved it! When we got home, the movie was playing on television, so Gigi watched for the third time in two days.

Gigi got up early this morning after sleeping over at Grandma and Grandpa's house.

I found her in the kitchen reading the newspaper with Grandma. :)

We went to Toys R' Us, and Gigi found this Barbie jeep. She saw it and immediately hopped right in it!

She was ready to drive it out of the store.

Luckily, it was tied down to the fixture. ;)

Today our field trip took us to Koolau Ranch.

Gigi made a bee line for the horse.

Our tour guide gave her some food to feed the horse. Gigi has no fear!

Gigi got right down to pet the guinea pigs, while the other children took a more cautious approach.

Now she's petting a baby bunny. It was so small!

The older bunnies were very cute.

Gigi monopolized one of them.

Now she's feeding a goat.

I was worried that the donkey would take a nibble out of Gigi's hand!

But, Blossom the donkey, was very gentle. :)

Gigi's ready to surf the web at Grandpa and Grandma's house.

She turns on the monitor.

Gigi's wearing Grandma's reading glasses.

Then she starts typing on the keyboard. :)

Today is Ava's third birthday party.

There was a kiddie pool, but Gigi didn't know it. She clung to Papa.

Here she is on her tippy toes.

She had a fun time.

Gigi is sad that we've got to leave the ship.

She didn't want to go.

I think Gigi is trying to give the ship a hug.

Bye-bye cruise ship.

Our ride to the airport was a solemn one. Gigi was Miss Grumpy.

July 8, 2008

Today is a sea day, so Gigi and Grandma hung out in the library.

Papa picked up this visor with all of the tokens we won during the cruise for trivia and golf, thanks to Grandpa's putting skills.

Grandma cut up a peach for Gigi.

It must have been sweet.

Look at that smile!

Tonight's show was a Broadway revue. Gigi really liked it!

After dinner, Gigi stopped by to play the harp.

She really liked strumming it!

Gigi wanted to take it back to the room!

Since it was our last night on the ship, we had a little toast on our balcony.

Today's excursion was another boat ride, but it was a rainy day. :(

We warmed up with some hot cocoa.

The rain stopped to a light drizzle when we came to this rock formation, but I poorly arranged this shot, so Gigi's head is blocking it. :0

Papa snapped this quick shot of it.

It was so windy, that I felt like Gigi was going to blow away again!

She loved it!

It's a good thing that Papa had a good grip on Gigi. She almost blew away! ;)

Here's Gigi watching another DVD with her Bald Eagle.

Here's Gigi's "Titanic" impression.

Look how happy she is!

The scenery was beautiful. These waterfalls were one of the highlights.

That's Gigi's face "fog". She pressed her face up to the window and left that 'mark'.

The "Gigi" graffiti and Grandpa, the one responsible for it.

We're back on the ship, warm and dry. :)

July 6, 2008

Today we're off on a train ride.

Here's the conductor taking our ticket.

The train picked us up right on the pier! That's a cruise ship in the background.

We stepped out on the platform to get a better view of the scenery, but it was cold!

Gigi preferred to be inside...watching her DVDs. :0

Grandpa and Grandma enjoyed the ride.

Gigi spent her time also doing puzzles. We found this great puzzle in a toy store at the last port.

At times, the views were pretty amazing.

We had a fun time. :)
