The Eugene Parade

This morning I went to a parade.

Nicholas explained that it was something to experience, so experience a parade we did.

No parade experience is complete without a portable folding chair so when Nicholas’s dad went for coffee I took his chair for myself.

He came back, so it was back to the backpack for me.

Visit a parade : check.

Humour my best bear bud by going to a parade : check.

Ok, it was kind of fun to go see a parade.

Hiking the Green Lakes

I like to think I’m an active well rounded bear, so while we were up in Bend Oregon visiting Nicholas’ sister, we went out to Green Lakes for a morning hike.

They wouldn’t let me take chocolate because they thought it’d melt, so I brought the next best thing. Matching green chips.  They were so awesome they nearly exploded out of its own packaging.

Of course we stopped for a family portrait at the lakes.

And then we hiked back.

And that was all.
