The Foamerator- Juner.

On Sunday, we couldn't resist the cool weather in the low 80's, so we headed out to try a craft from Family Fun magazine:

We had a good time making foam snakes getting soap everywhere.

Mama made the best snakes. Note Buster's outfit- not only did he manage to venture upstairs alone (a major feat these days), he picked out his clothes, disrobed and managed to get dressy mostly by himself.

I played in the bubbles until I was covered in a nice sticky layer topped with dirt.

Henry gave up on the snakes and went back to normal bubbles.

Bubba gave the foamerator a try, but wouldn't listen to mama's instructions not to breathe in and out so fast.

I liked chasing the bubbles. Look at how happy I am every time I spot a bubble.

On Saturday, we headed down to Old Salem- the original Moravian establishment upon which Winston Salem was founded. We had a good time looking at the old houses, gardens and brick oven bakery that still bakes delicious fresh bread, thin cookies and sugar cake. While we were in a shop, Henry got an old timey whistle sucker. I don't know if the whistle pop dates back to Moravian times, but mama has a distinct memory of mastering "Mary had a Little Lamb" while sitting in the back forty of her first house on Mud Creek Road. That was about 100 years ago. Henro didn't learn any songs, but did have a good time busting the ear drums of all passers-by before he tankfully bit the sucker in half.
