OK - I will admit it. My favorite room at the science museum was the bubble room! You see, these were no regular backyard summer bubbles. There were GINORMOUS bubble wands. I had made an attempt one summer to be a super fun mom and make our own giant bubble wands for giant bubbles floating through the summer sky. It didn't work.
When we first got to the bubbles, the kids were trying them the way you do at home with a bubble wand about a half inch in diameter!
BLOW!!!
It is hard to set a ginormous bubble free with even a large huff of air.
She huffed and she puffed and she never blew the bubble free!
This was sooooo cool! I got in and pulled the bubble up over Branch, Blossom and myself. Uh, but no pictures of that. Sort of troublesome to photograph oneself in this situation!

Everywhere!
A try on her own even with her fear that she MIGHT GET WET!! The wet was rather negligible, as in a quick spritz of a bubble - nothing earth shattering. But, even THAT when she is not bathing or swimming? Tear producing. Seriously. Water will do that to a girl. Well, this girl.
Since big sis gave it a whirl and didn't cry or get drenched, li'l sis decided it was worth a try, too. She too has issues with water. Oh, how have I already began to wreak havoc on their adult psyches.
Those of you who read this blog and live anywhere near Lincoln, NE - take your children to the Lincoln Children's Museum. Buy a membership. It is sooooo worth it. The museum in Lincoln is 3 floors of childhood fun. When we used to go visit, we could not fully enjoy every exhibit at one visit. There is so much to see and do. Don't get me wrong, Science Works in Ashland is a great bit of fun. But, boy oh boy do I miss the LCM!! Don't miss out, go and spend the WHOLE day at the Lincoln Children's Museum. Tell them I sent you. They will look at you as if you are crazy. I will laugh if they call me and thank me shamelessly for all this free advertising. Go on. Visit the museum. You'll love it as much as kids do!
Ah, yes, the LCM...three floors of mom's-heaven-on-earth-because-the-kids-are-busy. We love it!
ReplyDeleteOh, you meant Ashland, Oregon. Wondered if there was something I missed in Ashland, NE. ;)
ReplyDeleteThe bubble room is our favorite too!! Great pictures!!!
ReplyDeletedidnt notice in the post below that um your youngest was wearing a cheerleading outfit. you are a nice mom
ReplyDeleter
I am a nice mom to let her wear it, or because she has it? Sometimes they wear them with white long sleeved t-shirts and white tights and white tennis shoes. A nice cute alternative. Sort of a "home uniform" and an "away uniform"!! Grandma & Grandpa from NE sent the girls those GREAT cheer outfits for Christmas. GO BIG RED!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteOH - and Aubrey... no, I don't think that there is anything too exciting in the children's museum department that you are missing in Ashland, NE. Unless the population has had a recent spike that my husband didn't read about in the Lincoln Journal Star Online! OH - Wait! There is the SAC Museum... how far is that? Been there a few times - LOVE the "1st Exhibit" inside the museum and all its grandeur!!
Yes, the SAC museum. We took our kids there once about a year and a half ago and they were completely disinterested! Can you believe it? Two hangars full of airplanes and a science exhibit with our own NE astronaut and they were bored. Hmph.
ReplyDelete...and I thought that was a NE cheerleading outfit that she had on. Didn't want to ruin Regina's chances to believe that it was a Buckeyes outfit. ;)
