Photo's from camp.

Hi, Granny it's Wilbur...

 I'm still here Granny and I am having a ball.  We have had the best camp fires, and told lots of spooky stories at night. The girls get a bit frightened, but we soon tell them it is just a story and we all fall about laughing. 

I'm sending pictures of our Damper on a Stick bonfire.

Prudence loved the warmth of the fire on her paws. I told her she needed to sit by me to help me stir the dough.

Of course I had to show them how it was made.  I got a big bowl and put SR. flour, a tiny bit of oil and water. Then I did the bushy thing like we do in the Aussie land and got a stick to stir it with. Well you should have heard the shouts from the girl. (Oh no you must have a spoon, it will be too dirty, it will make it taste terrible.) They just don't get bush cooked food.( Although they did when we ate it. )

Right. oh, next we make it into a round by patting it out with our paws, next we wrap it around a stick, like this...

Can you see I'm telling them how far away from the flames to hold it? Then turn it every now and again, when you remember.

See that bear in the red coat he we watching a bee to see if he could find the honey. The little pink bear was warming her paws.

We were thinking all the time what do we want inside the damper... some said peanut butter, some said Jam, I made them laugh and said I am having kangaroo tail in mine it is just the right size. The girls were rolling around saying YUK.

Guess what we did have????

Honey.

Honey of course. We took the damper off the stick when it was cooked and poured honey down the hole.

YUM, YUM.  Everyone loved it and wanted more. Did you see Prudence in the first picture well she kept telling me to cook more and more, So I told her to get stiring the dough.

This chubby guy thought he could eat three.

This little girl was a bit fussy, she kept asking for a serviette. "I beg your PARDON" a serviette on a bush picnic. I told her to go and take a dive in the creek to wash it off.

Daniel and Harold were telling her they would go and find a big leaf for her to use. So off they went and found leaves for Blossom and Sissy as well. You know Granny boys just lick their paws, don't they.

We have been for so many hikes and found lizards,

boy did those girls run a mile, especially Blossom.. I was telling them that lizards have been on this earth longer than bears. They couldn't believe that. 

 Our Bunk beds are great. Sweet Pea and I have teamed up and he is on the bottom and I'm on the top, because I'm older. We will be the best of mates for ever and ever I think.

Must go and have some  more fun. 

I love you heaps Granny, and I do miss you when it is night when I am in my bunk and think about you.

I don't get much time to think about you though.

Big Hugs

My thought for the week.

do some women have double chins."

No Word From Wilbur.

Pictures from Bears and Friends Meeting 

On  Old Kitchen Ware.

We had a delightful man come to speak on old kitchen wares. He was so funny and interesting.We had a lovely display as usual.

Of course we needed to have Teddies and Gollies in the kitchen as well.

We had a competition for the best chef or cook. Just take a look at the one licking the bowl.

 I hope I hear from Wilbur by next weekend. I can't wait to hear what he has been up to.

My thought for the week.

"Kitchen  Pickers need bigger Knickers."

Have a lovely week.

Camp Good Bear

Here we come!!!

The day has arrived for me to go on an aeroplane.

I had a lot of stuff to cram in. Granny is bigger than me so she had to sit on the case to make it close.

Here I am going out the door. 

I hopped into the car seat and said to Granny put the peddle to the metal. I want to get there fast. 

Well I ask you, I don't think Granny would drive fast for any beary person. Drats....

Airport here we come. Big kisses good bye and away I flew.

I have been waiting for months for this day to come. Can you see me, I'm in the third window past the wing.

I feel like I am floating on clouds, and I pinch myself to see if I am dreaming because the air hostesses are HOT.

I took a picture of the seats to show you. See they have TV's and every thing.

It took along time to get here, but at last I will see my mates. Wooppee...

I think they said the boys cabins were to the right of the tree. I want to be there to welcome Sweet Pea. 

Us boys need to stick together.

Of course I want to see every one. Oh I see a camp mother she will tell me where to go.

I'm in sunshine and the bunks are comfy. 

They even had a Welcome sign out for me. 

Now I am just letting you all know I wont write to you every week. I told Granny she might have to wait for pictures and news about every 2 weeks. I'm sure she will give every one the up dates.

I wonder what will be for supper???? I hope they have peanut butter and honey on toast.

I will just have to wait and see. 

See you all in a few weeks, after we have some adventures.

Hugs Wilbur.
