The Teddy Bear Picnic
Sunnybear: Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care--it's enough to boggle a bear's brain!
Mary Rouse: Well, good morning, Sunnybear. How would you and Mamabear and Babybear like to go to a Teddybear Picnic? A lot of bears will be there. It will be in the Bethesda Theater on Feb. 6, 2018.
Mamabear: Oh, that is sooo pretty! Is this what a picnic looks like? It's nice!
Sunnybear: Wow! Look at all those gold fish! Yummy, yum, yum!
Mamabear: This looks like a good place to have our picnic.
Babybear: Oh! Mamabear, look at those bears! I am bigger than they are! Can I go say hi!
Mamabear: I don't know, Babybear. I never went to a Teddybear Picnic before.
Sunnybear: Ohh Ho! Is that bear a she? I think so! She is so pretty! And I love her ribbon.
Mamabear: Now, wait a minute, Sunnybear. Take it easy!
Babybear: Sunnybear, what is that Ma'am drinking? Can we have some?
Sunnybear: Hmm, I think that must be picnic juice. Huh, is that why this is a Teddybear Picnic?
Babybear: Oh, Mamabear! Those bears are my size. I know they will want to play with me. Mamabear! I want to go play with those bears! Now!
Mamabear: Now, don't get all upset, Babybear. We just need to wait and see.
Babybear: Oh, look! It looks like that little bear must be really special!
Mamabear: It sure does. That Ma'am sure does seem to like it!
Babybear: Oh, Sunnybear! Is that really a bear? He's saying Hi to us.
Sunnybear: He must be a bear. He is at a Teddybear Picnic.
Sunnybear: Let's ask her! See how sweet she is holding that baby bear.
Mamabear: Well, she looks very nice, but let's wait and see.
Sunnybear: OK, Misters and Ma'ams. This little guy and I are ready to picnic!
Sunnybear: Hmm. Where's the honey?!
Babybear: Look, Mamabear, Sunnybear! Everyone is watching the pictures! Hey, Sunnybear, that looks like you!
Sunnybear: Are you sure? He looks awful big to me!
Mamabear: Oh, look! I remember her! She was so kind to us when we went shopping!
Sunnybear: You went shopping? When did you do that? Is that where you got all your sparkly?
Mamabear: Oh, yes! We should go again. Babybear had so much fun!
Mamabear: Oh, that was such a nice Teddybear Picnic!
Sunnybear: They shoulda had more honey!
