Ever since we were home over the summer and JoAnn played with a bubble machine for the first time, she has loved bubbles. So, for Christmas we gave her a bubble gun. The only problem...now that we've gone through all the bubbles it came with I'm having a horrible time finding refills. So, finally today I broke down and bought the cheapest bubble gun I could find so we could use the bubbles it came with for the gun she got for Christmas. After she woke up from her nap today, Daniel took her on a walk so they could play with the newly refilled bubble gun. Only problem is that it doesn't really work the greatest. So, after a few minutes they came home and got the new cheap one that I had bought today. This one doesn't take a battery, so instead of having a pump to take the liquid to the part that actually blows the bubble you have to dip it yourself. No big deal right, except the part you dip doesn't fit into the bottle the bubbles came in, so we just decided to get a bowl and dump the bubbles in that. It worked great, for all of 10 seconds. After which, the new bubble gun also broke. After, which we just decided to do it the old fashion way that we used to blow bubbles when Daniel and I were kids...by blowing them yourself. One of the great things about living here is that toys are extremely cheap, but one of the downsides is that just like today the cheap toys often either come already broken when we open the box or break within seconds of trying to use it for the first time. Anyway, I always have fun watching JoAnn play with bubbles, so I thought I would share the story and pictures.
This is the second bubble gun shortly after it broke and JoAnn was still trying to figure it out.
When we first decided to blow the bubbles ourselves.
After I went inside and got the wand that wouldn't make our hands so sticky.
I just have to mention this since so many people back home just got hit with a huge snow storm. Yes these pictures were taken today, in the beginning of February and we are outside with the sun still shinning late afternoon wearing shorts and T-shirts. Just thought I would point that out to those of you still looking out the window at massive piles of snow.
