Bull's Visit to Tucson

Bull arrived in Tucson, Arizona for his visit with The DeGrenier Family.

Through no fault of his own, on his way to the Town of Marana, where the DeGreniers live, Bull became lost and he ended up in the Federal Courthouse. 

All was quickly straightened out by the Judge and after resting by a nice fountain near Tucson's Old Presido, Bull made his way across town. 

 He was hungry, so he stopped into a local Pananderia, a Mexican Bakery, to get a snack.

The Mercado or Market was a nice shady spot to eat. 

It was a long way to Marana, but when he got there he saw a lot of cacti (that means a lot of Cactus!)

Bull finally met the DeGreniers (Blanca, Terry, Sofia and Lucas). He quickly made friends with Lucas. 

Lucas is 6 years old and he goes to Kindergarten at Legacy Traditional School.

Lucas took Bull to visit the Reid Park Zoo. 

His favorite animals were the Giraffes

The last stop before leaving the Tucson area was to the top of Mount Lemmon.

This mountain, which is just East of Tucson, is over 9,000 feet high.  It even snows there and there is a ski lift on top!

Lucas made a snow man, but Bull was cold so he stayed in the car!

Lucas didn’t want him to leave, but Bull needed to head to his next visit, wherever that may be. 

 

Safe Travels Bull!!!

Caramel Enjoyed Lewes, DE

Jordyn was reunited with her bear, Caramel, when she visited her great aunt in Delaware over the holiday break! Caramel loved seeing the sights in Lewes, DE (the first town in the First State). We made sure to stop for some delicious ice cream at King's and tried some delicious treats at Edie Bee's Confection Shop. Can you spot Caramel hiding on the wall of candy

Caramel continued her tour of Delaware in neighboring Rehoboth Beach. Although it was chilly, Caramel enjoyed strolling along the boardwalk and checking out the beach. We even found Santa's House right on the boardwalk! Rehoboth Beach is also home to the famous Dogfish Head Brewery. Caramel worked up quite an appetite while sightseeing. We stopped at local favorite, Grotto Pizza, for some lunch where Caramel was able to work at the front counter!

Ozzy Stop Number 3

Ozzy has arrived in beautiful Bluffton, South Carolina!  Bluffton is a Lowcountry town in Beaufort County, South Carolina.  It is located between Hilton Head Island and Interstate 95.  Bluffton is the fastest growing town in South Carolina and is nestled along The May River.  Bluffton has a humid subtropical climate with very mild winters and hot and humid summers.  Winter is short and snow flurries rarely occur.

One of Bluffton’s most visited historic sites is The Church of the Cross and Ozzy had the chance to visit it!  It is situated along the May River that you can see in the background!

Ozzy thought the May River was so beautiful he wanted to see more!  We took him to Brighton Beach and to the Old Oyster Company where he toured the shrimp boat “Daddy’s Girl’s”, a famous shrimp boat in Bluffton.

One of the other things that Bluffton has to offer are Little Free Libraries.  Ozzy thought this was such a great idea, he wanted to share with you.  Maybe this could be a class project you could do around Topsfield?

And of course, Ozzy HAD to watch the Patriots game while in Bluffton!!!  WooHoo!  PATS Win!  And he made some new friends!!!

We had a wonderful time with Ozzy and are sure he will be on to another great adventure!!!
