Long Weekend 2

A long weekend wouldn't be complete without an outing... a bike ride! This time, we took Maphew along as his people were busy. Maphew has a special set-up on the back of his Daddy's bike, complete with harness and everything. He gets a lot of attention! There was even room for Sandy in the back...

We rode down to the river and the weather was gorgeous (for early September).

Sandy was even tempted to maybe try to go in the water... but it was a pretty fast-flowing river and Sandy's not the greatest swimmer (not with those short arms!).

 But then... what did Sandy see?? A raft floating in the river (right above his head)! What was this??

Well, all during the summer, people get out their inflatable rafts and boats and dinghies and float down the two rivers in the city. It is beary fun and there may yet be a floating adventure in Sandy's future! But not this weekend. Another short bike ride and Sandy was downtown and watching a parade coming!

 There were tonnes of people and it was beary noisy... which was a bit scary for a little bear.

Sandy and his buddy Maphew watched from the sidelines. Afterwards there was a big party in a nearby park... but it was beary hot and sunny.

Sandy is small enough that he could take advantage of the only patch of shade... thanks to Maphew!
