Each day, I (Belle) wake up and ask Mommy and Daddy where we're going today. Usually the answer is "school." Today, though, the answer was "someplace special." Daddy told us we were taking a trip to the forest to visit a special bridge. Along the trip, Mommy told us about the gord (gourge) with a river under it. I wanted to make sure there weren't any sharks in the river -- which Mommy said was the New River.
I asked, "New riverbend?" I thought it would be cool to be around the riverbend like Pocahontas. We watched Pocahontas on the way to the bridge to get ready for the forest. First, we had to bundle up because it was very cold and windy and rainy. Daddy brought the wagon to pull us in. Mommy brough a blanket to lay on our laps and keep us warm.
I kept asking how much longer until we get to the bridge. We did a lot of walking. Then we finally reached the bridge and watched on a big TV as people jumped off and flew with wings (parachutes). We saw a picture at the restaurant where we ate lunch of someone jumping off the bridge with what I thought looked like a hotdog.
Once we finally reached the bridge, we saw a lot of people jump down to the river with pretty wings. Some were blue and black; others were green and blue. I thought it looked like fun and said okay Let's jump. Daddy said I wouldn't be allowed to jump for a loooong time. Dirty barnacles!!
It was a lot of fun and a fun trip, but I wasn't happy to be cold. Mommy couldn't get us back to the car fast enough for me!
