Play Date with Maggie and Gigi

On Sunday JJ’s friend Maggie and her sister, Gigi came over. The cool thing is that Maggie’s mom’s name was Christine. We were going to go biking in the morning, and then go to the town beach. I was excited about having ice cream and swimming at the beach. Gigi was on a tag along and the rest of us were biking by ourselves. JJ and Maggie were biking slowly, so I had to bike slowly. My mom told me to be first, but then I was too fast, so I had to slow down. While I was biking fast, it was fun. It was a bit hot out but then when I was fast the wind blew on face. Finally we got to the ice cream store. I was ready to get a lot of cold ice cream!

On the way to the ice cream store, all of us saw there was a darling and very, very teeny and tiny Chihuahua that was Soooo cute!! She was as small as my mom or dad’s hand. Her name was Chewy, and the owner said she was so small, that if she was out in the yard, the eagles would eat her. What was even more surprising though, was that she was one year old, and she would never get any bigger! Awww! She was so adorable! I couldn’t stop looking at the cute little puppy. She didn’t look like a real puppy, she looked like a robot. My mom said her legs look like chicken legs and I have to agree. The puppy had tiny claws, even smaller than my nails. She jumped on me when I sat down. Well, she tried to, but she was too small. I wanted to know how small her tongue was. When I stuck my hand out, she licked it, but it didn’t feel anything! She was also very soft. She was the most adorable and sweet puppy I’ve ever seen (and the smallest). I told my mom I was going to get the same puppy. Gigi was SO happy, because she loved Chihuahuas. After we all petted her, we went to get ice cream. I got an Orange Pineapple to share with my mom. The ice cream was delicious. I felt a lot cooler. We biked back and went home. Biking was fun, but to me, swimming was the best!!

After lunch, the four of us got to play a while before going to the beach. Maggie and JJ were playing together, so I played with Gigi. We took the croutons up to my room and sat on my bed. Gigi was very cute, just like the Chihuahua. Gigi saw my Webkinz Chihuahua and immediately fell in love. She picked up the dog and asked, “Can I have it?” I let her have it, but I wasn’t sure her mom would let her. So we went down and asked her mom. . When Christine saw the dog, she joked, “I think the Chihuahua we saw is smaller than that!” I laughed. That might be true! I told Christine that it expired. She told Gigi, “If Christine lets you, you can have it.” I said yes, and that it was a late birthday present. Gigi was very delighted. I was happy too. She named him Tango. We went back upstairs with Tango. I had a stuffed animal, Eeyore, and we decided to find more clothes for him. I didn’t need any clothes for him, Jasmine wanted clothes for her stuffed animal. We found a Santa outfit, but that was it. We found a Santa hat too. Then I had an idea. Eeyore didn’t have to be a boy! I would be kind of weird, actually VERY weird, but we decided to try it. I found two dresses for him-oops, I mean her. It was hilarious. Eeyore didn’t look that happy, but we left him in a summer dress that was too small for JJ. I was laughing as we ate some more croutons and got ready to go to the beach (which I found out was actually a lake-or pond?).
At the beach, Gigi had a Speedo suit that was pink. I wanted to match her so I wore my team suit. Maggie had the same colors, but it was not Speedo, it was Nike. JJ’s was different from all of us. We brought toys, but we didn’t use them. I wanted to get out of the water and use them, but I was like a lifeguard for Gigi. But when she got out, I wanted to stay in. We found snails too. Live ones, I think, but I was not sure. Gigi, Maggie, JJ and I were playing together. I dunked JJ when she climbed on my back. It was fun, but I wanted to be dunked. I was the oldest one so no one could dunk me. My friend Megan was there, and so was her brother, Ben. Ben started splashing me, so I chased him, only far enough so that he couldn’t splash Gigi. Then he came back and did it again. Then I got mad at him. I went under water and grabbed his leg. Then he got scared and stopped. It was actually pretty fun. I was in the water the whole time except when it was time to go. The bad thing was that Gigi and Maggie had to leave. So we said goodbye, and I hoped that we could have another play date soon (hopefully Christine and my mom are reading this). I went back in the water and Ben started splashing me again! I got mad and grabbed his leg, holding on to him until he said, “I surrender!” I knew he would start annoying me again, but I wanted to get out anyway. So I got out and had strawberries and cupcakes. The strawberries were good. Luckily the strawberries were sweet, not sour. I dried myself and it was time to go. I really want another play date, oh, and I really want a petite Chihuahua like Chewy! The day was VERY fun but I was tired.
