Bubbles, Bubbles Everywhere!

This was the summer my boys not only developed a fine appreciation for the bubbles blown by others but finally took the leap and decided to try blowing a few of their own. I eventually went and got the camera after it looked like things were about to get serious.

There was much interest in the bubble blowing endeavor after all: 

And by all appearances it looked like we were well on our way to some serious bubble blowing: 

Except... I should probably take this time to mention that there are two schools of thought on bubble blowing for the first time. One comes with instruction and a willing student and the other is more of the old-school DIY variety. 

The end results of both look a little something like this:

– YAY! Bubbles!

– I also has bubbles, but they is on nose for some reason.

Nate could not be swayed on his DIY approach at the time and consequently ended up with a lot of bubbles on his nose that day, but has since gone on to also become a fine blower of bubbles in our backyard (while still occasionally employing the "bubbles on the nose" approach).

PS. This post pre-dates the one with the bubble mower, but just barely. It is the reason we decided to get the bubble mower though. Bubbles of any kind and shouts of "I steal them!" while racing around to catch them have been a big part of our summertime fun at the OP.
