Pinwheels and Other Summer Fun

I have been so busy this summer.  It has been one fun thing after another!  I got to go to Yosemite, where I saw a bear that lived in the wild.  Imagine living in the forest, I would rather have a nice cushy bed and blanket everynight - plus I need a nightlight.

I found a new toy that I really like, it's called a PINWHEEL.  I have three now, a silver one, a red one and an orange one.  I like to put them around me when I am having a picnic of gummy bears and peanut butter. 

Did you know you can make your own pinwheel?  Click on this link for  simple directions at  About.comMake sure you ask your mom or dad first!

Flowers

Bears love honey -  I'll bet you didn't know that.  Bees use the pollen and stuff from flowers to make their honeySo of course bears love FLOWERS!  Here's a picture of me smelling a flowerActually I was looking for a bee so I could follow it home and get some honey.  But don't tell the bees. 

I like other bugs too - dragonflies, ladybugs, lightening bugs and preying mantis.  What are your favorite bugs or squishey things?  Do you like slugs?  Do you have a pet spider?

4th of July

For those of you who have too much fluff between your ears - this weekend we celebrate our nation's independence with a big celebration on the 4th of July.  I plan to have way too many hot dogs, a lot of ice cream or a snow cone or two and a dunk in the pool. If I am really good, and I am really careful - I get to use SPARKLERS. But, being a bear made of fur and with paws, I have to be very careful - flying embers can catch me on fire! Mom keeps a bucket of water nearby, just in case she has to dunk me.

Summertime Fun - Sprinklers, Pools and Bubble Wands

Hi friends.  Did you know that I collect bubble wands?  I have over 50!  My favorite is a giant bubble wand, it makes bubbles that I can stand inside of. 

 Some of my favorite things to do during the summer are to blow bubbles, draw on the sidewalk with chalk, play in the sprinkler, eat popsicles and float in a tube on the river. 

Do you have any favorite things you like to do during the summer?  My dog likes to go camping, my mom likes to swim and dad likes to watch baseball.

Rainy Day

It's raining today.  I don't like too much rain, it means I can't play outside.  My fur smells funny when it gets wet!  Do you know what I like to do inside when I can't go outside?  I love to color.  I have a huge box of color crayons and a thick pad of paper.  I draw and draw and color.  If I could I would cut out of magazines and books, but I am not allowed to use scissors - and not allowed to cut out of books!  What do you like to do on a rainy day?

Here's a picture I drew of my family.  Oh, and did I tell you I like apples too!

Happy Day

Hi friends.  I love when the sun comes out.  I like to lay in the grass with my belly facing up to the sun.  My tummy gets nice and warm, makes me feel good all over!  I love to chase butterflys too.  I don't hurt them, I just like to follow them around to see where they land and what they do.  What do you like to do in the warm sun?  Here's a picture of me climbing the tree.  Boy that was so much fun.  The only problem, I couldn't get down!

I Love Gummy Worms

Have you ever stopped to wonder why gummy worms are so tasty?  Is it the chewy insides, the sweet sour taste or the fact that it's a WORM?  Being a bear, I ponder these things, I don't have much else to do!  The next best thing to a chewy juicy gummy worm - JELLY BEANS.  Do you have a favorite candy?  Tell me about it and why you like it so much.  My mom loves chocolate and my boy loves Sour Patch Kids.
