Teddy Bear Picnic

Today was the annual Teddy Bear picnic at our public library. Sophia was so excited about it all week.  She had all her snacks picked out to share with her friend, her teddy bear was ready to go...and she was really happy that Demetri was going to be a part of it this time.  Last year, when the picnic took place...I remember that I was just finishing my 40 days and it was one of the FIRST public places he went.  I carried him in the sling and he slept the entire time. But this year was a lot different. I venture to say that the little man has just as much fun as his big sister - if not MORE!

Sophia helped me pack her lunch (pb & j), some fruit snacks, drinks, crackers - and plenty of extra for her little friend.  She picked out her 2 blankets - her Noah's Ark and a Teddy bear blanket.  The library had it set up very nice again.  They had their normal story and song time inside.  The theme was....Teddy bears, of course.  Then everyone got to go outside to enjoy the picnic.  After the children ate, there were plenty of activities to enjoy.  Ring toss, bean bag toss, tunnels to crawl through, play tents, parachutes, balls and nets.  The kids had a wonderful time. It was a great day.
