Bubbleologists.. Yes, it's a thing!

Last year my mum received a phone call from my aunt asking if we can look after her children for a few days leading up to Christmas, and of course we agreed. Very curious why, we found that her and her partner had been invited to participate in an all-expenses paid trip to India! What possible reason could someone have to pay for them to go to India out of the blue you ask?  

They were going to perform in a BUBBLE FESTIVAL!! 

They hadn’t been asked out of the blue of course, my aunt and her partner (Lucy and Mike) are in fact BUBBLEOLOGISTS!!! 

Yes, to our surprise as well, this is actually a thing! Here are some pictures of what they do: 

They professionally perform at parties, events, festivals, you name it! They even have their own secret bubble mixture formula, unfortunately I can’t share this with you as the world of Bubbleologists is apparently very competitive. 

What is a Bubbleologist you ask? Well… They do things with bubbles.. big bubbles, small bubbles, bubbles filled with smoke, fire bubbles, bubbles inside other bubbles, you think it, they can do it! 

It’s a pretty cool thing to have in the family I’d say, not that I have any real skill in this art, although I have put Mike in a bubble! Here’s a picture of me and my brothers inside a bubble at my sister’s birthday party (definitely the best kids party so far). 

They really are skilled in the art of bubbles, Mike was even asked to try and set a new Guinness world record for putting a Helicopter inside of a bubble! Unfortunately, he couldn’t quite beat the current record, but he gave it a fair shot! 

Love for wacky things like this seems to run in the family, my youngest sister (8 years old) is hula-hooping crazy, and in my spare time me and my other sister practice our fair share of fire twirling, fire eating and breathing, fire poi and fans, and skin burning, here are a few pics, but more on that another time.
