Why spoil a good thing when it's working? This morning, it was back to Bubba Jump for the second round of action. When I mentioned yesterday that the morning hours of 9-11:30 at Bubba Jump were only for kids up to 5 years old, that was the trigger for a request to go back.
After a breakfast waffle, it was off to Bubba Jump, where there weren't a lot of kids, but they were all Laila's size, or smaller. She even talked Grandpa into taking off his shoes, and joining in the fun!
From Bubba's, we drove down to the Bridgewater Channel with a loaf of bread for the ducks, seagulls and pigeons. These feathered friends are used to being fed, and have little fear of humans. Laila learned very quickly that if she held her slice of bread to low, one of the ducks would snatch it out of her hand. Thank goodness the sun was shinning brightly, because there was a cold wind blowing through the park.
From the channel, we walked to one of the playgrounds at London Bridge Beach, and Laila quickly found a couple of friends to share the fun. Adjacent to the channel and the park is the Rotary Club dog park, where we checked out all of the different dogs running and playing.
The next stop was another playground, on the other side of the channel, with a much larger playground apparatus. She didn't quite make it to the top of the climbing wall, but managed to climb back down under the watchful eyes of Grandma. With all of the jumping at Bubba's, and the 2 playgrounds, it was time for lunch. We went back to the London Bridge, and had a bite to eat at Jersey's Grill in the English Village.
The day was topped off with a very special fashion show by the one and only supermodel - Miss Laila Chance. Grandma had been collecting "dress up" stuff, and they had fun showing Grandpa all of the latest and greatest fashions.
We packed a lot of activities into the day, and despite the cool weather, we managed to burn off a little of that 5 year old, endless supply of energy. These past few days with Laila have been cherished times, and there will be mixed emotions when she leaves this Sunday.
