What is more fun than bubbles?!! All kids seem to love them and even big kids! Shawna had a large bubble maker we'd gotten while in the states the last time and so that has been a lot of fun. Recently we came across a battery operated bubble blower in the village at one of the stores. Elizabeth spent much of her weekly allowance to purchase one. She was not disappointed as it works pretty good. It should allow for many hours of bubble time this summer--as long as no one drops and breaks it!

So much fun!!! I think Elizabeth made a wise purchase! :)
