We got a spontaneous call during the week from Papa Bear to meet him for happy hour. Most establishments around here have happy hour from 3pm-6pm EVERY day; it’s summertime all year round in beach towns…truly! Happy hour for us is taking advantage of an early dinner and since the nest was recently cleaned why yes, I’ll skip a meal at home and revere my sparkling kitchen for a few more hours. Middle bear surprised me by changing from his usual attire, athletic gear, and sporting a button down shirt with a tie. I suppose he was thinking Papa Bear will be in a tie so I will join him, or maybe he wanted to indulge because of the celebratory spur of the moment special event. He has a piquance for life that you can’t help but jump right into the revelry with him. When we returned to the nest, he tossed his tie onto the Buddha.
In a tribute to Father’s Day, we have left it. May you enjoy this splendid day with or without a tie. Older and wiser bear then pitched his cap on him. I think if Papa Bear would have his way, he would cover the Buddha’s eyes with a sleeping eye mask. In the words of the comedian Jim Gaffigan, father of five, “There should be a children’s song: if you’re happy and you know it, keep it to yourself and let daddy sleep.” Fatherhood isn’t always a walk in the park; ![IMG_20141227_144646710[1]](https://thefolia.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/img_20141227_1446467101.jpg)
sometimes it’s a divinatory discovery and certainly worth it.

I love that middle bear has such a zest for life and actually thought by himself to put on a tie. Lovely!

Yes, it’s special when they both wear ties for a rare occasion like picture day as well. It’s the only boy accessory besides a baseball cap that they sport.

Buddha is ready for a big night out 🙂 Happy hours in Australia don’t seem to be like the US – from what I’ve seen you guys really know how to do happy hours!

Ha, ha he most certainly is. I don’t know….too much happy hour is never a good idea, besides Aussies know a lot about vegimite sandwiches which can certainly change up a daily routine.
