Just got back from Indianapolis, and a visit to our grandson (and the rest of his family, of course!). Over the next couple of days, I’ll share some of the pictures from the trip, starting with some reflections on childhood fun.

Blowing Bubbles

The fun begins with a big bottle of soap bubbles and a bubble wand. A mighty blow tries to elicit some bubbles out of the soap, while keeping the eyes closed in case the wind blows the bubbles back. Since these are the first bubbles of the season, it’s a learning process to figure out where to hold the wand in conjunction with his mouth – but he learns quickly.

Success!

And while not every attempt is successful, this one is, and when a big bubble emerges, joy and exhileration can be seen.

Together the pictures tell a story and convey memories of childhood that just about everyone can share.

Tomorrow I’ll post some pictures from the Indianapolis Zoo.
