Hot Fun in The Summer Time

Wow...What a busy week we have had!

Yesterday (Tuesday, July 15th), I visited with the kids at Knowledge Beginnings in Westwood. Because it was so hot outside, we actually did our shows indoors, with two different groups! Our first group was pre-k and kindergarden kids, who were VERY loud during "Do The Monkey." Plus Miss Sarah learned how much fun it is to assist The Bubble Music Man by helping during our "Big Bubble" part.

The toddlers were my second group. Toddlers are very funny to me...they either really get into the show, or they cry. Yesterday was a mixture of both...but fun was had by all!

Today, I visited with Dolly's Nursery School in Hull. It was nice to see my good friend Kevin and all of the children at Dolly's. I even made some new friends today...Joanna helped with the Chicken Dance, Nick was our Limbo leader, and I even received some special help from Josie who helped with the different characters who joined us during the show!

Where does the time go ?

Wow...I took off for a few days for July 4th, and a whole week went by.

The Bubble Music Man has been VERY busy since July 4th. I was happy to have some time off and did get to see some fireworks over July 4th weekend.

Today (Monday, July 14th), I visited with the kids at Creative World in Raynham. We had the toddlers in the first group who danced around and enjoyed bubbles. In the second group, my new friend michael lead the limbo, and we chased bubbles throughout the classroom. We were indoors today with the change of rain. But when i left the sun was shining!

Over the last week, I visited with 5 different groups. Yesterday, I was invited to perform at Brianna's 3rd Birthday. Brianna and I (and her mom) met at the Holy Nativity party we did last month. Her party had quite a few children, as well as family and friends...all who enjoyed bubbles in her backyard!

Last Tuesday, I visited with the group at Bright Horizons at Reebok in Canton. Because of the humidity, we decided to have a bubble party indoors, and discovered that kangaroos did not live on Old MacDonald's farm.

Last Wednesday included another visit to Creative Kids Academy in Walpole for another Bubble Party. I always like visiting there...the staff is friendly and the kids are so much fun and involved in the show. Some of them even know what is going to be happening next!

After the show at Creative Kids Academy, I enjoyed a break in my day, then went to the Concerts On The Common in Franklin to perform for the children and families prior to the Quintessential Brass Band performance. I grew up in a small town, and it was great to see so many families coming out for this kind of an event. I wish that more towms would consider a weekly event where people in the community can come and enjoy a great show or concert in their hometown!

Last Thursday, I visited the KinderCare in Westwood for two great shows with toddlers, pre-schoolers and even some bigger kids as part of their summer camp program. It was a very hot day...it reminded me of the days when I was a kid. We used to try to fry an egg on the sidewalk just for fun!

I hope everyone is enjoying the summer fun! Don't forget bubbles!

A Very HOT Tuesday!

Today, I visited with about 40 kids at the Agape Cild Care Center in Brockton. We had a group of toddlers as well as pre-school children who came outside and enjoyed the show!

Miss Kim and the teachers at Agape were very helpful in getting the children ready for limbo, which turned out to have small groups of kids going in different dirrections under the limbo pole. We also learned that elephants and tigers are not found on Old MacDonald's Farm.

I also learned that the children of Agape also did some unique fundraising to have me come visit, including a bake sale, a penny dirve and other fundraising activities. Great job everyone! I was so glad to come by and party with you!

July 4th is just around the corner...I can't wait to see fireworks this year!

Stay cool!
