She and he little brother, Cristopher, were waiting for their friend Kayla to join in the fun. "Hi guys! Wanna see who can blow the biggest, most poppable bubble!" asked Kayla as she climbed over the fence.

"Wow, look at my bubble!" said Christopher. "It's full of swirly color!"

"I've got colors floating on mine too!" Kayla added.

"I never know bubbles could have so many colors!" said Imani.

"Well, you all area amazing bubble makers!" said Granny Mac, walking outside to join the kids.

"Looks!" said Christopher. "My bubble is ginormous and has fifty gazillion colors in it!"

"How about that!" said Granny Mac. "Aren't colors wonderful!"

"Mine has pink and purple &mdasn; my favorite!" said Kayla.

Kayla ran toward the garden. "And I see Red tomatoes and green beans!"

"Does gray count?" asked Christopher. "Because I see a crazy gray squirrel running up the tree!"

"Yep Gray is a color too. And I think it's a rather pretty one," said Granny Mac, patting her silver hair.
