The Beth Lists - Little Bear's Adventures

Baking Cookies with Friends

12/2/2018

First Day of December

I started the month off just right! My friends came over and we made cookies!

I didn't really cook, but I sat on the table. My friends brought their furry friends, so we sat together and watched the fun. They even made small cookies for us.

My Friends Have Grown!

My friends have gotten so much bigger! I saw them over a year ago, when they came to swim. I don't think I ever put our pictures on this blog. We got very busy with Hurricane Harvey, which happened soon after that day.

Never Too Old For Bears

A year ago, my friends loved bears. This year, they still love bears. I love my friends.

Climbing the Ruins in Mexico

11/20/2018

Rope

This little pile of rope was very soft and worn. I enjoyed sitting a while.

It was actually at the bottom of a long, stretched out, piece of rope.

Coba

I was sitting at the bottom of a temple that was once part of the ancient Mayan city of Coba. Above me, there were 120 steps.

At the Top

I could not even climb one step. So Beth carried me in her camera bag and climbed to the top. This is the metal ring that holds the rope.

Enjoying the View

I sat on the ring and Beth sat on the top step. We watched the people climbing up. Going down was scarier and that's when people held the rope. We didn't tell them that the rope looked a little raveled, up at the top.

Succulents in Cozumel

11/20/2018

Green

You would never know I was in Mexico.

They have green succulent plants like these, lot of places.

Some of these aren't at all cozy for lounging around.

View!

But the view is excellent!

I can look up at the purple flower.

I can look down at the smooth, green.

And behind me...

Water!

Behind me is the most lovely, blue-green water. Now you can tell I'm in Cozumel.

Election Day!

11/6/2018

We Voted!

Ms. Donkey and I voted! Well, actually Don and Beth early-voted in October. But we told them how to vote. Now we're waiting on results...

Pan De Meurete... in Mexico

11/1/2018

Bread of the Dead

It is November first and we are still in Mexico. Beth is trying to please me with more sweet foods. She said this was "Bread of the Dead" and I said, "What!"

Celebrating

Beth said it really wasn't scary. In Mexico, this is Day of the Dead. It's a day to celebrate those who have died. She and Don went to the grocery store and brought me back the traditional sweet treat that is enjoyed on Dia de Muertos. It smelled very good.

Bread and Coffee in Mexico

My Own Loaf

We are in Cozumel, so I should probably be posing with tacos or a margarita.

But, Beth brought me my own special loaf of banana bread from the breakfast buffet. She was so excited because it was tiny and she said it was just my size.

Well I guess it was just my size. I am the same size as that loaf.

That bread doesn't seem so tiny to me.

Adventure at the Stockyards!

9/26/2018

Back in the Saddle... in Fort Worth, Texas

When visiting the Ft. Worth Stockyards, I did what lots of tourists do. I sat on a Texas Longhorn.

The saddle was a little large for me. You can see me if you look hard.

The young woman didn't charge me 5 dollars like she charged the other tourists. She didn't make me sign a disclaimer, either. When Beth asked if she could pose me a little closer to the horns, she kind of acted like she gets that question all the time.

But 5-dollar tourists never get to sit on the Longhorn's head. And this is why. That Longhorn thought I was an annoying bee and tried to toss me off. In this photo, I'm holding onto the fur like a bull rider. But I lost my grip and flew up into the air. Luckily the young cowgirl (with good reflexes) caught me in her palm, just before I landed in a bucket... of something... I'm not sure what.

Second Ride!

That was so fun, I wanted to try another Longhorn. This one had reddish-brown fur and seemed very calm.

I sat proudly on that tuft of fur and the sweet Longhorn didn't seem to mind. I would have waved to the tourists who laughed when they walked by, but I was holding onto some hair... just in case.

Kansas City BBQ!

9/20/2018

Lunchtime at B.B.'s Lawnside BBQ

Ribs!

Sometimes I just have to crawl out of the camera bag and into the food basket. Then I enjoy a good whiff of the sweet barbecue smells!

Kansas City knows how to do barbecue.

Absorbing the Flavors

I don't get to eat. I'm a stuffed bear. But I love absorbing the smells right into my fur. Beth stuck me back in the camera bag before I got sticky.
I smelled that bbq all day long!

A Blue Penguin in Missouri

9/9/2018

My Big Friend in Kansas City

I didn't travel with any friends on our road trip to Missouri. So I was glad when I made a friend at the 21c Museum/Hotel. I sat on my friend's blue head.

So Smooth

The 21c Hotel is a hotel and a museum. They have sky blue penguins all over the hotel. You can even move them around if you want. I just sat peacefully on his head. I didn't even use his beak like a slide. Although I was tempted.

I felt like I was part of the art when I sat in the hallway, on my blue penguin friend.

I'm not sure if anyone noticed me, but I noticed them walking by.

I wish we could have taken this guy home with us.

Weeping Willow Tree

9/8/2018

A Tree in Guthrie, Oklahoma

I've posed in palm trees and trees with autumn leaves. I've even posed with Spanish moss. But this was my first time to have my picture taken in a Willow Tree!

Beth really should have taken a video, because the breeze was blowing and it was wild! The long whip-like branches were blowing like hair. She had to hold the branch still to click the photo. It was fun!
