The "Beary" Bunch

Kameron and his bears! It started many years ago when he acquired "Teddy" and he's been adding to the pack ever since. He bought "Hershey" in PA, after going to the Chocolate Factory (and for those who don't know: the town of Hershey smells like chocolate fudge brownies - yum! we visited often!). Teddy & Hershey were a must everywhere we went. And Kam would panic if he couldn't find one of them at bedtime! Then comes our big journey across the country, moving to Arizona. We made a road trip out of it and stopped in many states. Somewhere along the way (we think in Nauvoo or Texas) Teddy & Hershey came up missing. Kam was devastated, and it really broke our hearts to see him suffering so badly. He was so attached to these two little guys! John and I spent many hours on the phone trying to locate them, but to no avail. They were gone. Shortly after, the "replacement" Teddy & Hershey enter the picture! And then Beary, and Cardnie (Cardinals game with Dad), and Blue-Beary (from the Superbowl, courtesy of Dad), and so on. You get the picture! He just keeps adding to his brood - and he must sleep with all of them. I don't know how he fits in his bed sometimes :o) We know that it is going to be hard for Kam to part with these guys someday. Maybe he'll keep them forever...
Here's a picture that he set-up and took by himself (he's so proud!):

That is so cute! I love it! And I love the post about the lemonade stand! My lemonade stand when I was a kid got me $5! Thats it! We only had a couple customers, and it was a nice police man who gave me the majority of the money! I am not an entrepreneur, either that or I make terrible lemonade!
