bubbles and splashes

When it comes to activities with the little guys, some are hits--like the hot air balloons last weekend--while others are complete misses, like Bubblepalooza at the Long Center this morning. Maybe it was a miss because I ventured out solo with the three in tow; or maybe because it was 93 degrees under a hot sun at 8:30am; or maybe because Tillie got bubble soap in her eyes two minutes into the adventure. Whatever the reason, we collectively gave Bubblepalooza a thumbs down.

However, we did have the foresight to pack swimsuits and visit the Liz Carpenter fountain at Butler Park next to the Long Center. So following our bubble fiasco, we didn't have to return home at 8:45am, defeated by the sun and soap. A short walk to the splash pad and quick change under the shade of a giant tree was all we needed to turn our morning around. And Tillie got to rinse out her eyes, so it was a win-win.
