My 10th Bearthday!

Hey everyone, I'm so excited for today. Do you know why? Because it's...

MY 10TH BEARTHDAY!

My mom has a gift for me, from the Build-A-Bear Workshop of course!

It's a tuxedo!

I'm going to try it on right now! Excuse me as I do a little quick change...

Oh... this seems to come with pants... hmm... I guess I'll wear them for now just to see how they look...

Ta-da!

How do I look? I'm rather feeling myself in this tuxedo, 'cause when you look good, you feel good!

The name's Bear. James Bear.

Whaddya think? Do I have what it takes to be the next 007?

Let's get back to the gifts. My friend Droopy gifted me a puzzle roll-up mat. I've been working on some fun jigsaw puzzles lately so this will definitely come in handy. Thanks Droopy!

My mom also made me a cake. Here's the big reveal.

Yes, I love it! It's a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.

Thanks everyone for the bearthday wishes!

Mail

It's been a minute since I checked my mailbox, so let's see what I got, shall we?

Alright, some fun mail for me! I'll pass the bills and boring stuff to my mom.

First up is a postcard from Little Fox! He is visiting Alaska and sounds like he's having an amazing time! The scenery is really something, huh?

Next up is a card from Sandy. Sandy has been having a terrific summer as well with lots of adventures and trips!

And there's another piece of mail from Little Fox. It's a bearthday card! I'm really excited for my bearthday which is coming up at the end of the month... I wonder what type of presents I'll get...

Thanks for the mail everyone!

A Summer Road Trip, part 5 - Angel Oak Tree

Here we are at our very last stop on this summer road trip!

(By the way, I'm a little disappointed that it took my mom over 2 months to finish posting about this trip. *sigh*)

Anyways, this is called the Angel Oak Tree, located in Charleston, South Carolina! It is estimated to be between 400-500 years old.

The trunk and branches are massive!

Some of the branches even touch the ground, and there are wooden supports to hold them up.

This tree stands 66.5 feet tall and measures 28 feet in circumference. The shade it provides covers almost 17,000 square feet. And from tip to tip of its longest branches, it measures 187 feet.

I see some holes in the tree that would make a good hiding spot.

I can't believe how big and beautiful this tree is. I can definitely feel good energy emanating from this tree.

Let's take a look at this branch which was cut off. It was probably damaged.

Wow, what a finale to wrap up this summer road trip! I'm so glad you could join me on this trip. Stay tuned for the next trip!
