A NEW FRIEND

Yesterday, we drove back to London Bridge Park on the Bridgewater Channel, for some more play time on the playground equipment. This time, we were a little better prepared, and had some duck food for the many water birds that hang around the channel. While feeding the ducks, there was another family close by, with a similar aged young lady named Courtney. Laila shared some of her hot dog buns with Courtney, and they had fun, throwing bread into the water for all of the ducks that had gathered for a bite to eat. Even though they only spent a few minutes together, when we were leaving, they spontaneously gave each other a hug, and said goodbye. It was a very cute moment, and of course, I didn't have the camera ready to capture it digitally. Lake Havasu City has some very nice parks, so we drove across the London Bridge to the other side of the channel, and stopped at Rotary Park, where there was an even larger playground structure. When Laila had climbed to the 3rd level, Grandma was hovering around the bottom, trying to coax her back down to a lower level, where the anxiety level would be a little lower. During the course of the next half hour or so, Laila was up and down a few more times before it was time to get home and watch the Dallas NASCAR race. I showed Laila on the TV where Mommy and Daddy were sitting in Bombardier's corporate suite, watching the race, but she was a little frustrated, that race coverage didn't include a close up shot of Mom & Dad. It was another good day with our grand daughter, and we wrapped it up with a new movie that Laila picked out at the store - Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.
