Brown Bear's Adventures Begin

Dear Aine,

I would like to share with you the Adventures of Brown Bear (thats me) in Alaska. It all started one day when you said to Aunt Beth

"I think you should take Brown Bear home with you to Alaska and show him the bears on your porch, then you can bring him back again when you come to visit"

That was very generous of you to share me with Aunt Beth - who is never one to turn down an offer of travel and adventure - so away we went!




Our first stop was to spend Birthday and Christmas with Grandma Hank in colorful Colorado. I met many new friends while I was there.













Like the Golden Christmas Angel. She and I became good friends. She said that she has been with the family for many years - something about being an art project in Aunt Beth's third grade class. Well, anyway, She is one of Gramdma Hanks favorites.












And Mr. Froggy. He sits at Grandma Hank's front door and greets everyone who comes to visit, and even those who are just passing by. He told me that a good friend named George used to move him around and put him in comical positions everytime he went by. He misses George.





Mr. Froggy had lots of company out there for Christmas, including the Gingerbread boy! They became good friends and he looks forward to seeing the Gingerbread boy again next Christmas.


After a pleasant visit with many christmas parties, (and many many christmas cookies) the time came to hit the road (or air as the case may be) and continue on to Alaska!


So, carefully tucked in Aunt Beth's carry-on day pack, with a copy of "A walk in the woods" to keep us occupied on the lonnnnnnnnnnnng flight - we were off for the next chapter in my adventure.

I will tell you about that in my next installment.

Until then - hugs and kisses, (and give that little sister of yours a big hug and kiss for me too)

See you next time!

love, Brown Bear
