Teddy Bear Picnic!!!

Sunday after church, we went to Za's for lunch. There was a buzz in the air- I'm not sure who was more excited- the kids or Grammy for the first ever- TEDDY BEAR PICNIC!!!!

Lots of books to read- each child got to pick one to bring home!

Grammy made treat bags with bear magnets, homemade chocolate suckers, stickers, teddy grahams, gummy bears, and more.

The kids sit outside on the front lawn on their teddy bear picnic blanket with their teddies!

Veronica listens carefully to the story Grammy tells while she holds her bears!

Mara walked around and wandered while Grammy read stories and Papa watched!

Then, each child was given a basket and told to go on a "bear hunt" to look for all the food they would need at their picnic ( Grammy has hid plastic fruits and veggies all over the yard!)

Grammy and V go hunting!

Alaric's basket was full!

V was so excited!

Then Grammy told them to throw their fruits and veggies in the pool. The kids looked at each other and thought she was kidding- once they realized she was serious, they has so much fun throwing it all in!

Grammy made a HUGE teddy bear for the front yard to show we were having a picnic! The kids loved it. Amara never faced the camera as she needed to see the bear at all times!

Then we headed inside and got the kids into their swimsuits!

Pool time! Papa put the slide in the pool and the kids thought that was the best thing ever!

Everyone took some time out to rest

All three have matching Mickey chairs just for Grammy and Papa's house!Then it was time for the picnic! Teddy plates, teddy grahams, grapes, gummy bears, rasins...

Everyone loved the picnic!...there was even sandwiches in the shape of teddy bears-see them on the red plate!

Alaric shoves as teddy sandwich into Papa's face!

Then back in the pool for fun with a twist- BUBBLES!!!!

Back out of the pool to hang out in the new playhouse. More bubbles!

Grammy and her angels in her new playhouse!

Grammy and Mara have a moment!

Then inside for a naked dance party before going home!

Once everyone was back in dry clothes, they got their treat bags from Grammy.

then headed outside to pick a special bear book!

Mara posed for pics in front of the big teddy bear!

Grammy and Papa give kisses and hugs to each kid before they went home!

What a wonderful afternoon! THe kids were amazing and there was no one more excited about the party then Grammy! She had all three of her babies there, food, a playhouse, a pool, books, and a huge teddy bear! What a day! Thanks Grammy and Papa for making such incredible memories for our kids!
