Snow Day!
Just like most of the country, this week the snow decended on us. The Bears have never even seen snow in person, let alone played in it so it was with great excitement when it arrived with us on Friday. Out we went, and that's what we've done pretty much for the past 3 days.....in and out the house ... READ MORE »
