Teddy Bears have picnics too, you know!

All Sunday long, I kept humming (I spared the ears of Janet, who I’m sure would have loved my singing…) the tune of “Teddy Bear’s Picnic”.  You know, the old classic camp song?

“If you go out in the woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise…”

Why did I have that song stuck in my head? Because the Acts of Sweetness Team were lucky to be a part of the 16th Annual Mississauga Teddy Bear’s Picnic! The weather was perfect and people were out (with Teddies in hand) to celebrate this great event.

Awesome face painting!

Bouncing castles, rock-climbing walls AND cookies?! This was an event full of activity. They even had a giant game of chess. Naturally, I had to challenge Janet to a game. Just for once, we split the Acts of Sweetness team apart and faced each other in a game of tact and intellect.

We couldn’t help but act like kids at the Teddy Bear Picnic! We had a great time meeting a lot of Teddy Bears and smiling faces. It reminded us of our childhood stuffed animal favourites (mine was a lamb, Janet had Weeeee!, the bear). The Acts of Sweetness team was happy to be a part of such a fun celebration. Thank you to the Benares House in Mississauga for hosting the event!
