Even though they're usually focused on trucks and other loud passions, I'm so glad the boys still enjoy the quiet contemplation of blowing bubbles. This was how we spent some outdoor time yesterday without expending all of our energy in the 95-degree heat. It didn't last long--inevitably the bubbles were spilled and alas, I've yet to purchase this summer's gallon of refill.

Thankfully, Daniel has abandoned last summer's habit of treating the bubble wand like a lollipop. This summer's idiosyncrasy is keeping the bike helmet on as long as we're outside, even after the bike has been left aside for other pursuits. Leads to quite the sweaty head, but at least I don't have to help him take it off and on a million times as his whim changes.
