The Bears seem to be spending a lot of time with their families

The bears may be a bit old for going on holiday with their families, but they do seem to be doing it an awful lot. 

For the summer time they went on a family holdiday with lots of people. It was a nice cheap holiday to have!

The bears went on holiday with nieces who are fun to play games with. With grandparents like to talk about things but are not very well sometimes because they are a bit old. With brothers bring kites (but the bears got a better one after he had gone home). And with sisters and brothers in law are, well, a bit boring, and sit there and read newspapers a lot.

The problem was that it rained. So the neices and the grandparents and the brothers and the sisters and the brothers in law stayed inside and had a picnic in the house. But it was a small house, and everyone got under everyone elses feet.

When it was nice enough, they all went for a nice boat ride that the little bear organised, and it was lots of fun for the little bear and the neices, but granny and grandad were feeling a bit queasy in the boat, and big bear was bored so he went to sleep.

They did all enjoy going for afternoon teas though, in nice posh hotels, with cucumber sandwiches with their crusts cut off. Oh bears do like food, and so do bears families!

Then come the in the middle of the winter time the bears went and stayed with little bears mum and dad at their house, and little bears brother came to stay, and it was all very lovely. Apart from the times when little bears brother and little bears mum were both in the kitchen together. At those times they both had to do things their way (a bit like a little bear!) and neither of them would back down (a bit like little bear too). Thank goodness little bear wasn't in the kitchen as well.

The funny thing is that when the bears got home from all these family things they were so so tired from all the fun that they had had. Maybe next time the bears will go on holiday without so many people from the family.
