msfledermausYou will need:
1 bottle bubble-blowing soap with wand.
Really good gloves.
Temperatures well below freezing.
Bundle up, and go outside with your bubbles. Unscrew the cap and try not to spill on your gloves. Blow bubbles. Watch them float in the air and freeze. Listen to the fragile tinkling crunch as they pop in mid-air. Watch in amazement as they land on the ground and freeze there. Blow blow blow!!! Freeze freeze freeze!!!
This is great fun with a couple of friends...especially if there's hot chocolate or mulled wine waiting inside. This also works for the really large bubble kits, but you have to move fast and try to keep yourself as dry as possible or you will stick to the ground and they'll have to call the fire department to unstick you....
So there you are:)

Re:

Cross my heart and hope to stick my tongue to a pole.

Date: 2003-01-24 08:04 pm (UTC)I'm not really sure how I came up with it, but it sounds like I'm not the only one...
Meanwhile, it's still pretty freezy...if it drops below zero tomorrow, I'll grab Ben the Neighbor and his new beau and blow bubbles outside:)
