Beach Bears continued

We had a great little hike the other day - that is Shack Island in the background... and you can see that the tide is really low and we could walk to it if we wanted to but... if the tide came up and we weren't paying attention, we'd have to swim back!

 It's so nice here though... And we decided that it might be fun to play hide and seek. Since Ben has no shoes on... he's It!

"One one thousand, two one thousand..."

Pssstttt!!! Look... over here!

Jerry and I found a perfect hiding spot!!

We are going to be beary beary quiet in here...

"...forty nine one thousand... fifty one thousand... ready or not... here I come!"

"I wonder where they could be..."

"It doesn't look like they are on the beach."

"Oooh.... look at that... a hollow log!"

"I wonder...."

"Boo!!! Nope... they are not in here... wait... what is that sound?"

"It sounds like a tummy grumbling... it sounds like Jerry's tummy grumbling!"

"Ooof... up here maybe... at least I'll get a good view..."

"Hah!!! Found you!!"
"It's about time... we are starving!! Time for a snack!"

Beach Bear Bums

Hullo! We went to the beach today. It was such a nice sunny day and Jerry & Ben don't get to see the ocean all that often.

 We saw a cool log with weird holes in it...

See... weird holes... not sure what tree this would have been... maybe a Big Leaf Maple...

And then we wanted to go cliff climbing so we could get a good view.

Jerry is going that way...

That's cause it's the quickest, shortest way" said Jerry...

But Ben and I decided to go another way...

That's quite the cliff Jerry is climbing!

And we have our own problems over here... oof...

 Whew... almost there!

"Me too (grunt)"... "Just need to get over this last hump... oof"...

 Really? Do you need a hand?

One... two... three... pulllllll!!!

Lots of laughter although Ben and I think Jerry might need to lose a few ounces...

Wow.... look at that view - we can see all the way to the mainland.

 We then went for a little hike...

And found another great view point... wonder what else we will find...

stay tuned...

Tipsy Bears

Soooo... you know all those blackberries we picked well... we are making blackberry liqueur with them... just some blackberries, vodka and sugar. Mix well and let sit in big jars for 8 weeks. It won't be ready for a while yet. Sigh...

Jerry and Ben have never had blackberry liqueur but then... I remembered...

We still have some from a few years ago!!!

We got out the shot glasses... blackberry liqueur is pretty potent stuff you know.

But we couldn't pour it all that well so Mama helped... Mmmm... nice colour!

Mmmm... beary tasty!!

Oh yes... this is good stuff!! (hic)

"I like it beary much (hic)" agreed Jerry...

 Oh, the glass is empty... I think we need some more!

Whoops... looks like Jerry has already had a bit too much!

We'll just cover him up with a pot holder so he can sleep it off!

Fill 'er up!! What, what do you mean, we can't have any more? But...

Our glass is empty!! And it was sooo yummy...

Oh, what's this... we can't have more blackberry liqueur but we could have some...

Mead!!!! Oh yes!! I remember this - we bought it in Gloucester at the cathedral there... Mead is made from (shhhh....) honey!!!

Pour it out and let's see!

Oooh... I like the colour... it looks just like honey...

Hmmm yes, and it's not quite as sweet as the blackberry liqueur...

 "I suggest a toast!! To Jerry... for falling asleep!"

"Hear, hear!! I suggest a toast to absent stuffie friends who we would have invited if we'd known about the Mead! (hic)"

 "Hear hear!! (hic)... I suggest a toaster... er... a toast to... (hic)... uh... a toast to... what's your name again... oh yes... (hic)... to Sandy... for toasting us... no... wait... for HOSTING us! (hic)..."

"Sandy? Ooops..."

"Looks like Sandy is having a (hic) nap... I think that's a beary good id..."

(face plant)...

(Snores reverberated through the house)
