The Big Adventure Continues: Charles and Chance Ride in an Very Old Buick and Visit Bauline, Newfoundland

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

 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!

Guess what? We're going for a ride! That's Chance and me and our little cousin Frankie. Uncle Glen and Grandpa James are going to take the Buick for a spin. We're going to drive around the Avalon Peninsula and go to Bauline. That's a village, you know.

Uncle Glen says there are lots of horses under the hood of the Buick but I don't see any, do you?

I'm gonna holler "Boo!" at Chance and Frankie.

 So we have to take some food with us. I can help cook. I'm five, you know. Grandpa James says I'm the Minister of Stirring. Chance is too newborn to really help but Grandpa James says he is the Deputy MINI-stir of Stirring. We're gonna make sandwiches. I want peanut butter and bakeapple sandwiches. I want to take Smarties and root beer, too. Those are all yummy things to eat.

We're at the Government Wharf in Bauline. We could be fishermen when we grow up.

Chance and me are sitting on crab pots. I hope that doesn't make us crabby!

We had fun all day riding in the pretty Buick. Old cars are like old people, you know. They're lots of  fun.

This beautiful 1985 Buick LeSabre belongs to Uncle Glen. He lets us ride in it as long as we don't make it sticky with our peanut butter and bakeapple sandwiches.

 Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? Grandpa 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 Grandpa 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 peanut butter and bakeapple sandwiches. You can eat Smarties and drink root beer. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and play with us! We can go visit Uncle Glen and ride in the Buick! We can go to Bauline! Okay! Over and out!"
