Bubbles

Like all young kids, my children love bubbles. They are so marvelous and beautiful and fascinating, those bubbles. Just like young children. We have a little $3 bubble machine that creates a lot of excitement over here. We took it out to play, but it was a bit windy. The yards in our neighborhood are not fenced, and this creates a mighty wind tunnel down our block.
Our backyard makes up the end of this long, windy tunnel. All that wind just added to the excitement over the bubble machine. Ava tried to catch them, but they were moving pretty fast that afternoon.
Owen tried to eat them, but they all got away. But they caught each other for a wind-swept hug. It's amazing how much they love on each other. I love watching it. Well...except that Owen usually ends up getting bonked or knocked over or squashed. Refereeing that gets a little old, but O typically shakes it off and hugs right back.
