A Big Surprise For Little Bear

Mama Bear told her little son that she needed to pick up some Easter decorations from Grandma Bear's house on Friday afternoon. She told him that soon as he arrives home from school that they will go to see Grandma and Grandpa Bear. Little Bear was happy to hear that. He wanted to know what today was and his mom said it was Tuesday. She he counted the days until Friday. "Three more days," he shouted. "Yes, that is right, said his mom. The rest of the evening he went around the house singing and dancing around. He was just being the "beary" active little bear as usual. Finally Friday afternoon arrived and Little Bear and his mom was driving the dirt road to his grandparent's home. They were listening to the radio and singing along. Mama Bear began asking her furry little son if he remembered anything from last Easter. He said he remembered hunting for eggs in the woods below their house. Mama Bear asked why he remembered it so well. "Because it was fun!" exclaimed Little Bear. "All of my cousins were there, uncles, aunts, grandparents and friends. We had a good time playing in the woods and looking for Easter eggs," said Little Bear. Mama Bear said "Good...so we'll do that again this Easter if you want to?" "Oh Boy!" said Little Bear. Mama Bear explained that she and PaPa Bear had discussed it and they had all ideas that he would like to do this again. So, she said she needed decorations from Grandma Bear that was ordered online from My Southern Home Place. She reached in her tote bag and pulled out the new marketplace home decor catalog to look at as they traveled on. When Little Bear got to the page with the hammocks, he showed him mom the hammock swing he had picked out for Grandma Bear's garden. Mama Bear liked it and knew that her son was going to get a special thrill when they got to Grandma Bear's house today. Mama Bear explained that as they planned for Easter, she would need his help with cleaning and decorating their house. Finally, they arrived and both Grandma and Grandpa Bear met them at the car. Little Bear jumped on his Grandpa's back and he carried him on his shoulders inside the house. Grandma Bear had snacks for them before they started looking at the new Easter decorations. Little Bear was the first to open the big box of Easter decorations and out he came with a large Easter sign. Then he found a and and and a vase. A tabletop sign, placecard holders, an Easter egg tealight holder, a plaque and more. They especially liked this Easter sign. After looking at all of the Easter items, Grandma Bear said she wanted to show them her special backyard garden. Little Bear again rode on Grandpa Bear's shoulders to the outdoor garden. As Grandma Bear and Mama Bear watched for the reaction of their busy little boy bear, they saw the instant that his "beary" brown eyes caught sight of the hammock chair swing in the middle of the garden. It was hanging from the big oak tree and it was the focal point of the entire garden. They watched as Little Bear sprung from his Grandpa's shoulders to the ground and leaped into the swing. "Oh boy, Grandma, you have a swing for us just like I picked out!" said Little Bear. "Yes, Grandpa Bear placed it right here in the center of the garden for us to enjoy every time you come to visit" said Grandma Bear. "He even got a special deal with the swing chair and got a hammock for himself too" she said. That was just what Little Bear wanted to hear. "I'll be here everyday!" he said. "Oh dear!!!" said Grandma and Grandpa. And Mama Bear just smiled.
