What kid doesn’t love bubbles?
And, come on. Most kids love soccer, or at least kicking a ball around.
What a genius idea to combine the two!

Step up with Leo Messi FootBubbles and juggle FootBubbles like the greatest soccer player in the world, superstar Leo Messi! The secret is the winning team of FootBubbles Super Solution and Messi Socks.

The Super Solution is specially formulated and made to bounce with your feet when used with the specially
designed Messi socks. Juggle FootBubbles by yourself or keep the bubble bouncing for as long as you can with your friends.

Just slip on the Messi sock, blow a bubble with the super solution and start the fun!

Our Experience

The boys couldn’t wait to crack into the box of toys including these Messi FootBubbles!
Inside the package there is a step-by-step instruction list which makes it so easy to use and understand what to do.

And, it’s not hard.

Put on the socks.
Fill the container with bubble solution.

Dip the “blower” into the solution and make a bubble!

We found that to get the bubble off the end of the blower, you need to make a swirling motion to have it release.

Then, have fun!

The package does say that you need to practice a bit before perfecting the art of FootBubble soccer. But, the boys didn’t mind. They had a great time playing and just blowing bubbles!

Messi FootBubbles will be available this spring from: Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Canadian Tire, Bed Bath & Beyond, kidtoy.ca, London Drugs and Red Apple.

Acacia Nature Trail

The Acacia Trail, Digby County

Next time you are in the Digby area and need a quick place to stretch your legs or to go for a picnic, check out the Acacia Trail.

The Acacia Trail starts alongside Pine Brook and continues to follow the brook upstream past fishing holes and a small waterfall.

The trail surface of this section is wide and flat for easy wheelchair access or strollers to the fishing platforms.

There are also rest area platforms with tables.

Once you get to the waterfall platform at the end, you can turn around and go back to the parking lot. This is the easiest and most direct route.

However, we went further up the waterfall to the wooden bridge at the top. We turned right and followed the road back around to where it joined up with the main trail. This section is not marked, so if you are confident and have a good sense of direction, it’s a different route to try. It is not stroller friendly.

Along the way is also a lovely devotion tree. Stop to admire it!

We recommend just doing the point-to-point trail to the waterfall and back.

This trail is 0.6km.

Acadia Valley Trail Extension

On the opposite side of the parking lots is a newly extended trail.

There was no information posted about the trail regarding the length, terrain, or whether it was a point-to-point or a loop.

Much to the children’s chagrin, we decided to check it out and go exploring.

The trail is more of a natural hiking trail then a walking path.

There are orange markers, signs and hunting tape along the trail so you cannot get lost.

After 2km (according to my FitBit) we still had not looped back, and there was no sign of the trail looping around, so we decided to head back.

Later research showed me that it is a 4km hike along the brook with plans to have it connect.

We did not make it far enough to find out if it did connect. We just turned around and went back.

We do not recommend doing this new section of the trail until more information is available and posted at the trail head.

Update from Digby Area Tourism: The extension trail loops back to the new bridge over Aunt Sarah’s Brook connecting it with the original trail. It’s about 6 km total and passes through some old growth hardwood areas. There are trail markers guiding the way. Trail head signs with more info are planned.

Directions

Take Exit 26 from Highway 101 (the Digby exit) and follow the signs for Acaciaville to the left.

There are blue hiking signs for the Acacia Valley Trail.

Follow them for about 6km down the road. Continue through until you see Mill Road on the left.

There is also a sign for the Acadia Valley Trail on the side of the road.

Follow this dirt road to the provided parking area at the bottom of the hill. The trail starts here beside the brook.
