“Get it Little One.”

“Oof. That one is high.”

“Nice jump, Lucy.”

“Jeez, Lucy. Watch out.”

  Ha haha. I originally had the headline “The Boss Plays with Bubbles.” but thought it sounded a little too questionable.

Lucy and Twiggy looked like they were having so much fun. On Boxing Day we had a buubles for the children. One little 4 year old ( my Grandson) was trying to catch the bubbles with his mouth, it was so funny.

  We do it about once a week. The bubbles are organic but still made of soap so we don’t want then to ingest too much.

Lucy looks like a puppy when she’s chasing bubbles. And Twiggy does pretty good for herself considering the height disadvantage.

This reminds me of when Domer was a wee lad and had loads of fun chasing bubbles during our warm months. I never thought to let Dallas try, but I bet he’d enjoy it as much as Lucy and Twiggy appear to. Thanks for the suggestion, John!
