The Three Mischevious Bears....



You put in the coins,
Ill pull the handle :)

Nobody can tell were bears......right

In October of 2010, I took a trip to Reno Nevada for a softball tournament. Although we had fun, I remember feeling very torn between really wanting to be there playing ball and really wishing I was back home in Boise with Angela. :)  I was excited because I knew she would be waiting for me beyond the security gates when I arrived home....something I wasnt accustom too.



The night before we were flying out I wanted to get something to bring home to Lauren, Caitlyn & Jordan and I knew they loved their stuffed animals. So I went on the hunt to find a game at Circus Circus I was bound to do somewhat well at....softball throwing at milk bottles, how fitting was that? After an hour or so of throwing, I had achieved my goal...The Three Mischievious Bears. I was excited to give them to the kids. I thought it would be fun to "text" a story to Angela discribing the bears "adventures" in the Casino. I figured Steve (the rabbit) couldnt be the ONLY mischievious animal in the stuffed community. :) It went a little something like this....



Riding back to the Hotel



Those three ran me in circles all night, from sneaking away and disguising themselves to play KENO, to throwing slots at the Silver Legacy :) Those three certainly got into allot of trouble. . . . but even a hard night of playing at the Casino would catch up with them.  I caught them, got them in the car and back to the hotel for a good nights rest.  I woke them early and got them ready for the flight home to Boise.  I wouldnt dare pack them in my luggage, I mean that could be hazardous right? And there were lots of lives to think about on that plane :P  So I took them onboard with me, to keep a close eye on them :) They eventually met their future life long friend Steve Meuser who would show them the finer points of being a Mischievious stuffed animal....

With my new friends on my back, I walked off the plane and couldnt walk fast enough to the security gates....there I saw Angela, the most beautiful girl I have ever seen....I could breathe again, I was home...xoxo

This was a crazy weekend for me. I was coordinating the Booktoberfest event. The cool part was that since I worked all weekend I got to take Monday off to pick Jim up and meet his cubs. The teddy bears stole my heart. As did their adorable owner.
