Fun Things to Do on Civic Holiday

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know. I 

Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful! 

Know what? Today is Civic Holiday all across the province. It's a nice day to play and go on a picnic. Chance and me are having fun we look into the mirror and make faces. I know how to make the very scariest of faces. They make Chance squeak right out loud. Whoever laughs first is the loser. It's a fun game to play, you know.

Sometimes James says, "Boys! Go outside and see if you're there." We run outside to play in the back yard. There are lots of things to do in the back yard. We can dig holes. We can climb the sugar maple. We can take our space ray guns and hunt for lions, too. Oh. We can ride up and down the sidewalk on my blue bike with the Canada flag on it.

We get to eat lunch outside. I l-o-v-e eating outdoors. James says food tastes better when we eat it outside. We had Smarties and root beer. Oh, wait! We had peanut butter and licorice sandwiches, too. They're all yummy and yummy is one of the four good groups in the Canada Food Guide. 

After lunch we got to ride in the rocking chair and then we took our naps on the living room floor, right in front of the TV fire. Chance falls asleep real fast and makes little snory noises. He's so cute when he sleeps.

Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens on Civic Holiday Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can pick play together! Okay! Over and out!"
