Well…. I didn’t read the website very well. It turns out that the cafe is only open at 8:30 in the summer season which doesn’t start until July and the first tour doesn’t start until 10:00. Since we were up and had a long list of places we wanted to go, we decided to just create bears when the store opened at 9:00 and skipped the tour. Here is my mom with the kids on the way in….

Here are the kids kissing the hearts that go into the bears…

Here is Timmy filling his dino….

Joshua chose a light blue teddy bear but was shy about pushing the pedal so I had to push it for him so I didn’t get pictures of him. Here is Samantha stuffing her pink bear…

My mom decided to pick out teddy bears for my neices. Here is Joshua helping to stuff the bear for Ashleigh…

And here is Timmy helping to stuff Meghan’s bear…

On Sunday we left our camp and spent a couple of days with Nathan’s parents at their camp. On Tuesday we left and drove from upstate New York to Vermont. Here is a picture of one of the beautiful rivers we crossed over….

And another of Lake Champlain as we crossed over into Vermont…

Tonight we are sitting outside of the Vermont Teddy Bear Company. Tomorrow we have a long day of tours planned. We are starting out with the teddy bears, then heading to Cold Hollow Cider Mill, then to Ben & Jerry’s (I am hoping that I like the flavor they are giving out tomorrow), then to Cabot Creamery. After all of the tours we will be heading to Manchester, NH so that we will be near to one of my Garnet friend’s houses. She has generously offered to teach Samantha about horses and let her help with the morning chores on Thursday so she can earn her horse badges. :)
