2013 CAMP GOOD BEAR

INTRODUCTORY LETTER

Greetings Bearents and Cubs;

It’s time to begin planning for our 3^rd annual Camp Good Bear Summer Camp.  This year we have some exciting activities planned for our furry little ones, including the Big Race which has caused quite a buzz here.  The cubs had so much fun last year with the girls vs. boys canoe race, and our Bearcelors wanted to get in on the fun so we are planning the event of the summer, the race to end all races – The Tube Race.

Yes, it will be quite a fun event with the cubs vs. our Bearcelors rubber tubing down Big Bear Lake.  It will be a day filled with fun and activities, a picnic, watermelon eating contest (rumor has it that the Bearcelors will be in on this contest too), swimming, an arts and crafts project and ICE CREAM CONES.  This is what we have planned for Bearents Day.

All our cubs who attended camp last year have been invited back and their bearents have pre-registered them, only new cubs need to fill out the application.

So mark your calendars:

July 13 – arrival day

August 17 – departing day

Bearents Weekend -  July 27

On arrival day our Bearcelors and Jr. Bearcelors will be helping everybear with finding their cabin.  We have arranged everybear to be in the same cabin as last year, although there will be a sign up sheet if anybear would like to change cabins and bunk buddies.

All of us here at Camp Good Bear are excited and looking forward to another fun filled summer camp.

Beary sincerely yours,

Gloria Grizzly

A picture is worth.......

"Bye bye..."
"We are off to 'finishing school'."
"LuLu, who are we finishing?"
"The Princess of course.  She has the Sebastian pin and the autographed picture of Peanut."
"Hey, ya mean we are gonna learn how to finish somebeary, like erase 'em, disappear, vanish, poof?"
"Yeah, I think so." 
"Wahoo!, Next let's get rid of Mom."
"Did you put the Sebastian pin in our suitcase?" 
Oh, those little dummies have they got a lot to learn.  I will miss them but I can't wait to have them back as well behaved little girl sister bears.

"And I'm not bacon, I am Daisy Mae."

Hi, everybear.....

It looks like I am just relaxin' and bein' lazy doesn't it?  Nope - I'm thinkin'

about

It won't be long before I leave for summer camp.  By now everybear should have gotten their welcome letter so bearents can begin planning for the trip up to camp.  It's gonna be so much fun.  Last year the girl cubs vs. the boy cubs had a canoe race and it was a dead even win.

This year the Bearcelors decided they want to join in the fun, soooo they are planning a rubber tube race over at Big Bear Lake - yup, the bears vs. the Bearcelors.  I giggle every time  I think about this - they don't have a paw in the honey jar of a chance.  We are going to beat their hineys. "Prudence!"  Sorry Mom (giggle), we are.

See ya next Friday, and as always.....

BACON ! ! !

Okay you two, all privileges are taken away for 1 month and that means helping in the craft room and playing with Molly & Jessie.  I am thinking of sending you to private school for girls while Prudence is at summer camp.  Daisy Mae and I will have a nice relaxing few weeks.
"Yeah, like that's gonna happen.....not a chance" 
"You tell her, LuLu."

"Look what Prudence got, another prezzie, this one is from Peanut over at
Boo-Bahs Little Sunshines"
"Yeah, that's Miss Iris' kitty, and it's autographed too!"
"Flora, first it was the Sebastian pin and now an autographed picture of Peanut, I'm tellin' ya we gotta get rid of Prudence - FOR GOOD!"
"I'm hungry"
"Me too"
"Let's have a BLT"
"Oh, Daisy Mae, here piggy, piggy, piggy."

Hugs,

Potato Dill Soup

It's Funny Friday

by Prudence

Hi Everybear, today I am Chef Prudence and wanted to share Mom's soup recipe with you.

2 T. butter or margarine
4 cups peeled, diced potatoes(russets)
1 large onion chopped
1.5 cups water
2 cups milk (I use 2%)
1 T chopped fresh dill (I use double)
2 T all purpose flour
1 cup sour cream (reduced fat)
***
Using 2 quart saucepan, melt butter/margarine.  Stir in onions, cook 2 minutes, stirring until soft (do not brown).  Stir in potatoes, cook 2 minutes but do not brown.  Add water and bring to boil, cover pan and simmer 15minutes until you can mash potatoes leaving small pieces.  Add milk, dill and bring to a boil.  Stir flour into sour cream, blend into soup with WOODEN SPOON.  Remove from heat, let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

*I also add a pinch of dried oregano and a pinch of garlic when I remove from heat.
I serve with freshly made garlic bread.

("Hey LuLu, she's wearin' the Sebastian pin."
"Yeah, I see it, lets hide behind the door." )

Well, the mystery of these two disappearing unfolds....Nothing like flushing them (oh, I wish) out with adopting a new little baby.

Proof is in the pictures

 It seems the Sebastian pin is more important.....
"LuLu, stop staring at me."
"Give me that pin, Flora."
"No!"
"Give it to me or I'll rip your head off!"
"Ha, it's MINE!!! "

Or not...

"Ouch, you doo-doo head, get off!"
"LuLu, if you had asked to wear the pin I would have given it to you, but you must learn that asking, manners and being respectful of each other is very important."
"Yeah, sure Prudence, whatever you say."  HA! (I'll get that pin if it's the last thing I do)

Oh, sometimes it gets wild around here, and this is one of those times.
With that I leave you saying,

"Tony, come quick, look at this box!"

"What is it, Toby?  LOOK, it's from Miss Ginger over at

bearbits"

"That's your birth Mom, Toby." 

"I know, do you hear little oinks and scratches?" 

"Yeah, I do!"

"Prudence, come quick, please help us open this little box!"

"Okay, gee I wonder 'who' is in there?" 

"Huh, Prudence, what-da-ya mean, who?"

"Call Mom..."

"Toby, what's that green thing?"
"It's a straw, Tony."
"Miss Ginger put a soda in there for us?"
"Good grief, NO, it's a little breathing tube."
"Oooooh"

"Okay, boys, it's a surprise, a new little sister." 

it's
DAISY MAE 

~~~~~~~~~~~~
"LuLu, that evil Mom replaced us with a pig."
"Okay, Flora, it's time to make our presence know, enough of this hiding out."
"Yeah, LuLu, let's show that little oinker who the bosses are in this hug!" 

"Look what Miss Ginger sent to Prudence."

"Oh boy, we want a Sebastian pin too."
We'll take it from Prudence when she isn't lookin, then we'll tell her she lost it."
Good plan, LuLu."

The Mom heard that.

Stop by next Friday for more....
