Our Visit to Pelee Island

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 look after him.

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! He climbs way high on things and then he can't get down. I have to say, "My son! Come down from there this instant!" Then I have to help him 'cuz he's afraid and makes little squawky noises.

Know what? We went to Pelee Island with Grandpa James and Nana Elizabeth. We get to ride on the ferry. You can't drive there 'cuz it's an island. We have to ride on the MV Jiimaan. When the captain says, "All aboard!" we cast off and away we go! I l-o-v-e to ride on the Jiimaan.

Pelee Island is a fun place to visit. Here's Chance and me at Vin Villa. It's a model. The real Vin Villa burnt down a long time ago. They used to make wine there.

We went to the Pelee Island Winery. The nice people show us how they grow grapes and make wine. Wine is for grownups. Chance tried to taste the wine but we gave him grape juice, instead. Grape juice is newborn baby wine, you know.

We had lunch at the winery. We ate yummy food. I had a licorice and peanut butter sandwich. Chance doesn't have teeth. He just drinks chocolate owls' milk. We get it at Mac's Milk.

We met some nice ladies from Children's Aid. They have a very important job. They keep children and cubs safe. I'm glad they do that. Maybe I will work for Children's Aid when I grow up.

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. Be kind to friends and neighbours. Then you can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can get on the Jiimaan and go to Pelee Island together! Okay! Over and out!"
