Super Bubbles

We had a super-fun weekend. My sister and her family visited. Eric is back in school for his third year so their time is harder to get! Basically the only thing we did at our house this weekend was sleep and eat breakfast!

On Saturday, it rained and we all had to stay inside, but much fun was had anyways.

We parents took advantage of this useful thing called "grandparents" and enjoyed playing two heated games of Trivial Pursuit in the basement on the Wii. It should be noted that the men cheated and corroborated answers once they saw we were going to crush them. There were only four players and there were five of us so Randa and I were teamed up (not that we minded), and when we took an impressive lead, the three guys decided to help each other. B A D.

Meanwhile, this was happening upstairs:



Does that babysitter look awake to you? I think she looks a little too relaxed. Finding Nemo was watched, and fun was had. Thanks Gramma and Pap! Can we come back next weekend?

On Sunday, we had beautiful weather! Joel's grandmother had gotten the girls this huge bubble wand and tray and mix so we decided to try it out with some fun little friends. It was harder than we anticipated.



Do you get this excited about bubbles?



The kids each had several trys. We couldn't get the bubbles off of the wand without them popping.



Uncle Eric did a pretty good job with it, much better than the rest of us were doing!



The bubbles that did come off were significantly bigger than our regular bubbles:)



Then it was decided that the ground was not even enough so the tray was placed in the recently emptied bird bath.



Putting your fingers in a circle makes a pretty good bubble wand!



Hands work pretty well too.



Then this troublemaker came out and took over. He did do a better job than we had been doing, except for maybe Eric.



I think he had more fun than the rest of us put together. He was so funny!



Poor little Pilly. She chased bubbles and sister and cousins and a puppy and a mommy running with a puppy all over the yard and her little legs were quite worn out!

All good things must end, and we did eventually have to come home and return to our regularly scheduled programming. Some resisted:



But in the end, she was returned to her bed anyways.

Lovely. Perfectly lovely. I do enjoy weekends!
