Tale of a Walk in the Woods and Lost Bubbles

On our walk we stomped through leaves



Collected leaves



Watched the water flow under the bridge



Threw leaves into the water



And if you look closely, you can see a bottle of bubbles being tossed over as well. (it's a little white and pink smudge falling from Pony's hand) She held those bubbles for the entire walk until she started collecting leaves. The bubbles ended up in the bottom of the basket covered by leaves. Just as she threw the last of the leaves over she yelled "My bubbles!"



Watching the bubbles float away



We continued on with our walk even though she was a bit bummed at losing the bubbles.


We looked for animals living in trees


And then Pony yelled out "My bubbles!" This time in a happier tone. We looked and sure enough the bubbles were floating by us. We had expected them to be long gone by now. But here they were. I ran ahead to try and get in front of the bubbles and find a place that I might be able to reach them.


Standing on a log in the water holding a large branch waiting to snag the bubbles



Success! I was able to snatch them with the branch and guide the bubbles my direction and rescue them from the water.



Some bubbles were blown in triumph and jubilation and then we continued on with our walk and exploration of the woods.
