Bibou and Dan.. at Ludimax


Well, it was too wet and yucky to venture out to Disneyland (we're still hoping to be able to go on Monday!). So we met up with the Bitans to visit Ludimax (instead of Koony planet, just to have a new place to go to). They came over to our place and off we went, with them following us in their car. Well, again, Bibou was all excited about seeing Dan, and was really disappointed at not being able to 'see' him before leaving. She thought that we weren't gonna see him! And so, in the car, allllllllllllllllllll the (long... to us anyway!) way to Ludimax, Bibou kept asking, "Where is Dan?"She kept turning around in her seat, checking to make sure that Dan was behind us and she was really worried when we went down this very bendy hill and they went out of sight for a while (and when Daddy said jokingly, 'opps we've lost them!). Finally we got there, and when they out out of their car seats, they ran so fast to each other and gave each other huge hugs and kisses. Mamita, who'd not seen them together before, was really tickled and commented that "if that isn't love, I don't know what it is!!" (which is true! They are sooooo lovely together. )

It is the vacation period so Ludimax was crowded with lots of screaming kids. And everyone got really excited and quickly took their shoes off and dashed into the structure. Well, everyone except for the Mummies and the babies. Fred and Daddy were just as excited and they all ran up very quickly so that they could slide down the very long and slippery slide. Dan and Fred got to the slide first and woooosh, down they came, screams and giggles of delight! Unfortunately, Bibou got to the top and ....DIDN"T want to come down. She was scared! And because there were tons of people behind them, Daddy had to put her on his lap and wooosh, down they came, with Bibou all in tears. oh dear! I really don't know why she's afraid of this slide, especially since she loved the one at Koony planet. Anyway, she's really scared and unfortunately, we realized that she didn't want to go up the structure anymore!! No matter how hard anyone tried, especially Dan who pulled and proded her (who just couldn't understand why she wouldn't play with him), she wouldn't approach or go up the strucutre. She was that scared (and associated going up, meant coming down the slide).


So, Bibou stayed 'on the ground' throughout the rest of the time there. Fortunately, there are other things (though not as much as Koony planet) to play with, and she'd spent most of the time in the ball area, playing ball with Daddy (who totally enjoyed himself playing ball with the other kids there!). They played foot ball, basketball, 'murder' ball - trying to hit people with the balls (I got hit in the head hard. I wasn't pleased!). She also played cars with Dan. Well, at least everyone else enjoyed themselves, I know that Dan and his parents totally enjoyed the slide!


We also managed to take pictures of the two young ones... Yohan and Angel. Don't they look cute together. Hopefully, they'll be best friends together, like their big brother and sister!
