Dave wanted to set it up right away and fill it with bubbles &#8211; in the house. I vetoed that idea and so we all went outside. It was a good thing too, or else we&#8217;d have ended up with a quarter of a bottle of bubble mix on the carpet.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2737\" title=\"IMG_6820\" src=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"288\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820.jpg 600w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 288px) 100vw, 288px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Adam was so serious about mowing our lovely mostly brown yard (this summer and its lack of rain has not been kind to the grass). He thought the bubbles were a lot of fun and the mower got refilled with soap twice while we were outside. Dave even took a couple of turns with the mower while Adam chased after him popping bubbles. I think we need to figure out a way to get our\u00a0push-mower\u00a0to blow bubbles, maybe then Dave would get more excited about cutting the grass.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6820.jpg\"><a href=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6821.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2739\" title=\"IMG_6821\" src=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6821.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"432\" height=\"288\" srcset=\"http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6821.jpg 900w, http:\/\/grimmfamilytales.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/IMG_6821-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Thanks Grandma Cathy &amp; Grandpa Kurt!
