Flashback Friday: Fun with Friends and Bath Time
First trip to GattiTown with Mandy, Jack, Danielle, and Riley (Brina & Karlie)
Today our Flashback Friday is in August 2005 when the girls were 6 months old. It is quite an adventure packing up and heading out to visit family, friends, or do errands, but we are getting better at it. The process of just getting out of the house, into the car, and on our way is usually several minutes long.
The girls have been enjoying going out and about more. I try to do at least one fun activity outside of the house each week with family or friends. They are usually exhausted by the time we get home, but we have fun. It is good for me to spend time with other Moms too.
Thankful for family and friends to hang out with. The girls are really good and for the most part do really well when we are out and about. They love watching everything. It is neat to watch them soak everything in during our adventures.

Karlie starting to zone. She didn’t like the party hat at first, but soon forgot about it.
1st Bath together after being out with friends and having sunblock on them. It was too hard to safely bath two wet babies at the same time before now. They could sit up on their own and each had a place to safely sit in the tub now. At first they were not sure what to do? You mean we can play in here!?
Getting use to the bath time fun.
Bath Time Fun with H2Goo Gelli Baff
Mom it feels like applesauce…. It was pretty funny watching the girls reaction to the H2Goo.
I was able to get Gelli Baff from ThinkGeek with a coupon as a gift for the girls. They had a blast playing in the water and Gelli Baff. It has the consistency of applesauce and jello. I got the hot pink color for the girls.
Bathtub full of clean water ready to add the H2Goo and the kids
Pouring the magic H2Goo into the tub. It will soak up 400 times its weight which turns the water into a colorful and gooey gel. The girls wouldn’t get into the “goo” until it was mixed because they were a little unsure of what was going to happen.
Scooping it up in the cup. The H2Goo will not stain the kids, tub or towels. When the kids were done playing all you had to do was add the dissolver powder and the goo converted back into regular pink bath water before draining.
Hot Pink bath fun! The girls had a blast splashing around and playing with the gelli bath. It turned the water to hot pink gelatin. You can see it on the legs. The H2Goo is safe, non-toxic and makes the skin softer.
Two sets of twizzle toes peeking out! This was probably the longest bath the girls have ever taken (and they have taken some really long ones)!
Pouring it into Daddy’s hand. This stuff was so fascinating that even Jake and I had to check it out. It was definitely a fun consistency.
Pouring it on her leg. They loved scooping it up on a cup and watching it slowly slide down their legs, arms or bathtub.
It comes out kind of clumpy because it is thicker so it was fun stirring and pouring.
I was able to get this from Think Geek below are more Gelli Baff details (also known as H2Goo or Squishy Baff Bath it has several names).
