Bubble Madness!

For the first time in a few days, the rain stopped yesterday and the sun came out. It was a perfect day for making giant bubbles. I purchased this big bubble thing a few weeks ago and have been waiting for ideal weather conditions to try it out. Although it was quite windy yesterday and therefore not "ideal" it was still good enough to warrant a go. I made my homemade bubble solution (a mixture of dish soap, corn starch, baking powder, and water), let it "strengthen" for about 2 hours, assembled the big bubble thing, and then headed out to the lawn to try it out. I was accompanied by some friends and we eventually had an awesome time. I say eventually, because it took us about 30 minutes to figure out how to get the really big bubbles to come alive. We found a spot blocked from the wind by buildings and were finally able to make the magic. The first time I made a big bubble with the big bubble thing I screamed. I was that excited. It wasn't long after that that we had big bubbles almost every try. The bubbles were huge, colourful, and "strong". They dodged buildings and trees like they were alive. It was incredible! I can't wait to do it again. (Thanks, Ulfie for the pictures!)
