Bubbles, Bubbles, a Gazillion Bubbles!


Last week we took the family to the park with some friends. We were going to play on the playground, throw the ball around, do a little geocaching and play with bubbles. The weather was phenomenal, the company was fabulous and the geocaching went swimmingly. So, as we wound down the afternoon, we kicked off the Gazillion Bubbles bubble machine.
Now, let me set the stage for you:
There was a large, multi-story play area - you know, with swings and tunnels and monkey bars and slides - just brimming to the top with kids and parents and grandparents. We were about twenty or so feet away, upwind. A gentle breeze was blowing. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. The children were playing and laughing. Then we turned on the bubble machine.
Oh, the happiness and unbridled joy that erupted forth from all around. Kids slowly started noticing the bubbles and going crazy! Life is great, but life with bubbles is indeed grand! Parents and Grandparents began to smile even more as their children and grandchildren squealed with glee. The wind carried the bubbles up and over to the play area. Bubbles were everywhere! Somewhere, Lawrence Welk was smiling.
We ran the bubble machine for a half hour or so and then our schedule necessitated our departure. Alas, our trip, just like the life of a bubble, was short lived. But, for that moment in time, the world was a brighter place, children were happier, and a Gazillion Bubbles flew home at last.
Wow - got a little poetic there at the end. Honestly, it was a total blast. I want to go and do it again. Maybe sneak into a mall and shoot bubbles over the balcony or something. You should seriously score one of these awesome Gazillion Bubbles bubble machines. And, don't forget to stock up on bubbles! You can power through this stuff quickly and you don't want to run out! I have blown a lot of bubbles in my life and this is possibly the best bubble mix out there. Grab some today. Also - you will need 6 AA batteries for the machine - don't forget!
