It was Birthday Bear celebration time again last week. It was our grey nomad, Chris's birthday, and she and Bob were close enough to Brisbane to come and celebrate her birthday with us. If you are unfamiliar with our Birthday Bear Tradition read here. We drove up to Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast to meet them at the Power Boat Club for lunch, overlooking the sea. It was a great spot.
Chris and Bob have recently been to Asia and one of her most exciting days was when she helped wash the working elephants.
Birthday Bear decided it would be fun to help Chris wash some elephants.
Bear brought her own brush and lots of little elephants to wash. She even wore an elephant mask to join in the fun. Maybe Chris could give Bear Elephant a scrub.
Ann was the clever one to dress Bear for Chris.

ReplyDeletei think this bear wins the blue ribbon for most fun bear of all. love it... love the head she created.
ReplyDeleteI never realised that bears and elephants got along so well! Great fun.
ReplyDeleteYour BD group is so creative and fun. The first time without someone is always hard. I'm sorry (again). Easy to say life goes on. Hard to act on. But it does and you did!
ReplyDeleteOh so it was only a mask, I saw the picture and thought bear had turned into an elephant
ReplyDeleteGreat job on the post Diane. Thank you again to my lovely bear friends for making the day so memorable. Love Chris X

ReplyDeleteYou are all so clever with this tradition, Diane. This one was a perfect bear for your friend Chris. I'm sure Paul's spirit was smiling about this

ReplyDeleteLove these birthday get-togethers. Such a great tradition and the elephants were adorable.
ReplyDeleteI was sad to read that Paul had passed away. He seemed such a friendly character from photos of him at previous Birthday Bear parties. Birthday Bear looks very fetching as an elephant.
