Bubblefest

Little pleases and impresses Gracie more than bubbles. Most kids like them, including Preston, but "like" is an understatement for Miss Gracie. So, when our friends mentioned that Bubblefest was starting at the Discovery Science Center last weekend, I knew that getting my kids there was a priority. Thankfully, little miss lovesick was able to drag herself out of bed on Sunday to enjoy a fun-filled afternoon.



I'm so thankful that my "on-it's-last-leg" camera managed to get this shot.
During the finale of the show, she signed, "happy" "more" and "bubbles" completely unprompted.



What we saw onstage...

...What the kids looked like watching

The kids in Elmo's World

Preston and Addie were excited to see Elmo, which was surprising since Preston is so unimpressed with Elmo at home!  Gracie, who still really enjoys Elmo, was completely unimpressed with him in person!  Her expression cracks me up... I think she is looking at him and wondering two things: 1) What the heck are you doing here? and 2) Why are you so big?

In the "super whippy wind tunnel" as Preston described later to John.

Gracie wheeled herself into a wind-tunnel, signed "wind" and started to roll back... She grabbed onto her wheels and cracked up.  For a kiddo who can't blink to protect her eyes, she sure does enjoy the wind!

It was such a fun day (but for the ridiculous crowd!) and there were so many interactive things that were set up for Gracie to enjoy, too.  I look forward to taking full advantage of our new membership and intend to take my girl back to the bubble show at least one more time while it's here.
