LEGOLAND

CaLifOrNiA

This past June we drove down to California for a little family vacation! I'm not going to lie...I was a little nervous about how the boys would do driving all the way there in one day, but they were AWESOME! I couldn't believe it...no fighting, complaining, or meltdowns! The boys loved every minute of it...and if you can't tell they were a little excited about the pool at Aunt Julie's...hence the snorkeling gear they decided to put on before we even got to Vegas :)

The boys more or less lived in the pool the whole time we were there...

It was an awesome vacation, and we all can't wait to do it again! Stay tuned for more from our California vacation...

Monstrous, Huge, Unbelievably Big Bubbles

If you want some serious summer entertainment...this is it! When my sister and I were kids we had one of these bubble makers from Klutz, so when I saw it again, I knew I had to get it for the boys. Bonus...they changed the recipe so you no longer have to try and find glycerin :)

Here's the recipe...
12 cups water
1 cup liquid dish soap (best is Joy, 2nd best Dawn, 3rd choice Ivory)
1 cup cornstarch
2 tablespoons baking powder
Just stir it all together in a big bucket and skim off the foam (foam is bad for bubbles)
