Foam Fun


Okay, FINAL post of the day!  I decided to break up the weekend activities into separate posts so it wasn't so overwhelming. 

After the parade, we were driving by the park and saw this huge white cloud.  Upon further inspection, we discovered it was a FOAM PARTY!!  I had heard about them, but only happening at parties involving wet t-shirts and drunkeness (not exactly my cup 'o tea and certainly not a great kid event!), so we were thrilled to see kids running from all directions towards the giant ball of suds in the middle of the park! 

The girls jumped out of the truck fast as lightening and dove in with sheer elation!  I couldn't stop smiling the entire time because it literally made them SO HAPPY!  It was loud music, a 15 foot wall of bubbles and pure joy! 








The girls would fully disppear under the bubbles (while standing!), and I would have a brief freak out moment of "can they drown in this??), and then they'd come running out like a scene in Backdraft, beaming smiles on their faces.





This little turkey decided it was too slippery with her shoes on, so took them off IN THE MIDDLE of the foam!  I thought we were going home without them because there was so much foam, but eventually we did somehow manage to find them. 


There was a slight breeze, and when the wind would come through, the air was filled with big poofs of foam.  It was magical! 

Then finally the foam stopped and the truck pulled away and it was like it never happened...such a strange thing to see and SO F-U-N!
