We saw Grandpa and Bon Bon in Lexington for Taylor's 21st birthday and Lucy entertained Grandpa throughout dinner. Then they were able to play and play and play at their house on Tuesday while I had an appointment. Lucy baked cupcakes with Aunt Lauren, Bon Bon indulged her in a super-long bath and let her help make and prepare dinner for everybody. Lucy was so excited to show me the chicken nuggets she had made from scratch and the "noodles she counted".
Other highlights from her trip with Bon Bon and Grandpa:
A trip to Incredible Dave's restaurant where Lucy tackled the biggest inflatable slide you ever did see. She never hesitated. She just sauntered right up, climbed the enormous ladder and slid down (head first) down the super-high slide. She loved every minute of it and within a short while, she was racing some of the big kids down the slide, all with a big smile on her face.
Playing the piano- Bon Bon, Aunt Taylor and Uncle Damon all indulged Lucy and played songs for her while she sang at the top of her lungs. Her #1 hit, a tie between "Twinkle, Twinkle" and "Abcs". But there were many, many more. She even made up a few songs of her own. She was also concerned with "cleaning" the piano and would take whatever was in her hand and wipe it down.
Egg Hunts- she hunted, she hid, she did it all, and all for treats! She also decorated eggs with Bon Bon one afternoon.
Playground with the whole gang. We went to Ascension's playground to play with Uncle Damon, Aunt Lauren, Aunt Taylor, Bon Bon and Lucy was happy to have a different person every few minutes take turns sliding, climbing and running around with her.
Frankfort Ave. Easter Parade- Taylor, Lauren and Bon Bon went with us to the world's greatest neighborhood parade. Never have I been to a parade where just anybody could enter. And they did. We saw kids participating dressed as Batman and Hannah Montana with their parents driving the car and them lip singing or throwing candy to the crowd. Instead of marching bands, there were rock bands on trailors. Lucy got to see the Easter bunny, pet a Humane Society bunny, and loaded up on an entire Easter basket full of candy collected from the parade. It was cold, but fun and she wore both her warm snow hat and her Easter bonnet, making it look like she had on some sort of strange sombrero. While she was sitting on the Easter Bunny's lap, she was asked to take photos for the Courier Journal and at the end of the parade was interviewed for WHAS 11 News. When asked why she came to the parade, Lucy answered, "For the candy". When asked if she would return to the parade next year she said "Yes". Her television debut!
