I really enjoyed having a bubble''s day with my K- son. I forgot to buy bubbles thinking that I could buy them at the school to no avail. However, one of the coaches brought out a large box of bubbles and handed them out. That was so nice of her because the instructions to parents was to bring your own bubbles. Thank for placing a smile on myself and the many other children who were able to play with the bubbles.
