Jump! location a bit of a hurdle...

Wanted: 6-7,000 sq/ft with parking. 

We have all heard recent horror stories about trying to rent in Vancouver. When the real estate market went crazy, so did rental properties. And apparently that holds true whether you are looking for a Bachelor apartment or 7000 sq/ft. with ample parking! My trusty team (me, my beleagured leasing agent, and anybody who I can finagle into keeping an eye open) has combed the city but alas, we haven't found the perfect location in time for a January 1st, 2008 opening. I wanted to let you know so that you can go ahead and plan your little ones' winter schedule. And when we find that perfect location, you'll be one of the first to know! In the meantime, if you hear of the perfect facility for Jump!, please do let me know! 

Put a little Jump! in your leapfrog's life:

Hopefully this winter won't be a repeat of last year when it seemed like the rain never stopped. Playgrounds knee-deep in mud certainly present some challenges in keeping the little ones active. What to do?  

How about swim classes - swimming is a wonderful "fit for life" activity. Or check out Super Sundays at the Vancouver Art Gallery - Katherine Ricketts runs a fantastic movement and music workshop  - lots of ideas you can take home for the next rainy day.  Think active play when shopping for Christmas presents this year, there's some great stuff on the Grand River Toys  site that will keep them hopping well through New Years.  And, 'cause fresh air just can't be beat, pick up a Muddy Buddy at one of our fine local children's stores and send them out anyway.
