Child's Play ~ 3

I learned a new game tonight.

Involving bubbles and a short runway (my deck).

The game?


As the runner ~ my great granddaughter - wiggled and called out “Ready, Set, Go!!!”; with three year old speed and energy she ran towards me.

Me: the bubble blower ~ blew bubbles that she ran into and popped.


Then: repeat ~ no specific number of times


Then a second challenge:

I became the runner to call out “Ready, Set, Go!” and raced with a bit less alacrity; just getting wet with bubble juice.


Oh, and a third challenge:


The length on the runway (my deck) doubled

The game resumed as before ~ 


Until it was time to bring more toys outside……….


“It is a happy talent to know how to play.”

~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
