Right at the front next to all the TVs and audio gear was this massive bubble machine. The price was \u00a334, about $50. I kept thinking it seems very inexpensive. Every time we went I looked at it and thought, well it must me junk or something and they&#8217;re trying to get rid of them. It didn&#8217;t look like they were selling many of them. So I thought who would actually buy a massive bubble machine in the middle of winter in northern England? Well me, I would.<\/p>\n<p>He had a little fish bubble machine that he absolutely loved, but the bubble fluid got into the electronics and it stopped working. Poor fish. Ever try to explain to a child that their toy is broken? &#8220;More?&#8221; Oh no, no more&#8230; He understands stuck, but that&#8217;s a temporary situation. That weekend, on our way back from the aquarium, we stopped at a different Costco and I told myself if they have it in stock I&#8217;m getting it! We also had room in the car so the planets were aligned. There it was, beautiful black metal, and two twirly bits, and 100w fans.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing I had to buy was a long extension to run the power from the garage. Done. Xavier&#8217;s cousins came by the house and I got the machine out and fired it up! Man oh man it is worth every pence. Waaay better than the fish! Armed with daddy&#8217;s new toy, a 4K GoPro and brushless gimbal stablizer I captured the excitement. Every weekend I break the bubble machine out and it gets the same reaction. Pure joy.<\/p>\n<p>I burned a longer version of the video above to dvd and he asks to watch that on the TV when he can&#8217;t go outside. That my friends is a good purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During the holidays we made a ton of trips to Costco.
