Family Reunion Planning Tools

What keeps kids fixated for hours in one spot (within a 10 ft radius) at outdoor parties and picnics? What keeps them from running off into the distant horizon never to be seen again. Bubbles. Kids are fascinated by them and the adults love the festive atmosphere it creates. There is an art to bubble blowing and festive, decorative bubble arrangement. The-art-of-blowing-bubbles And what's better then blowing bubbles by hand? Bubble blowers. Yep. The kind you see used at weddings. I own several bubble blowing machines I plan to put on display at the next picnic. Each bubble blower is powered by a small battery compartment held in place by a removable lid secured by one or two very small screws.

Depending on the duration of the event I might find myself changing the batteries periodically as needed. I remember once getting quite frustrated with myself over forgetting to bring my set of screwdrivers and almost gave up on setting up the display when suddenly I remembered that I always carry my trusty pocket tool complete with phillips and flat head mini screwdrivers. But would it do the job?

I Popped the battery compartments open, changed the batteries and the bubble blowers were up and running in no time. Back in business.  The laughter and excitement from every kids voice was worth the effort. Now we're cooking with oil! When it comes to event planning there's nothing like having just the right tools at hand. Super-fun-bubble-blowers.
