Bubble Basher

On Sunday Jackie gave Sam a bubble wand. It looks like a sword - a long, narrow bubble maker fits into a long, narrow container of bubble solution. Yesterday morning Sam and I went out to play and I took the bubble wand with.

Sam was so excited! The wand is way too big to make bubbles by blowing on it, so I would load it up and then spin. Sam screamed and chased them all over the yard. After a while, I figured out I could make bubbles by just gently shaking the wand. When Sam saw that, he wanted to try.

I handed the wand over to Sam. He shook it and was thrilled to see all of the bubbles he made. As several bubbles settled in the grass around us, Sam got a determined look on his face. He rushed at the bubbles and used the wand to beat every last one of them out. And that was the game! I'd help Sam load the wand, he'd make bubbles, and then not rest until he had pounded each one into the ground.

Boys are so much fun!
