00:00:04 --> 00:00:18 Thanks for joining Beartown Stories in our house. We love stories. Almost every day our kids ask us to tell them a story. Okay. So we thought we'd record some stories for them to keep and to share with you.

00:00:18 --> 00:00:26 With this podcast, our goal is to inspire childlike imagination, spark creativity and encourage a desire to learn.

00:00:26 --> 00:00:39 Here we enjoy the Blueberry did present sledding. The Blueberry.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 The Blueberry.

00:00:42 --> 00:01:04 The Blueberry. Kids, that's us. I can't believe snowed again. Thomas, come see. Come see. Wow. Daddy, did you see it? It snowed again.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 What? Snow looks pretty normal out there.

00:01:07 --> 00:01:11 There's snow. It's everywhere.

00:01:11 --> 00:01:12 Where?

00:01:12 --> 00:01:15 Daddy?

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 I'm just kidding. I see it.

00:01:17 --> 00:01:23 Dada. Yeah? Can we go sledding? Yeah. Can we do sledding?

00:01:23 --> 00:01:28 Sledding? We haven't even had breakfast yet.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 Can we go after breakfast?

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32 Are you sure you want to go outside?

00:01:32 --> 00:01:36 Yes, yes, yes.

00:01:36 --> 00:01:38 After breakfast you guys can go sledding.

00:01:38 --> 00:10:17 Yay. Yay. Let's eat. I don't think I made it to the top of the hill. I had too many blueberry pancakes. Me too. I think I had four pancakes. I had five. Daddy said one time he had 12 blueberry pancakes for breakfast. I would pop the 12 poundage. Me too. Alright. We made it to the top. Finally. I don't remember the hill being that big before. I think the snow made the taller or at least harder to climb. Which way do we go? Down. Back towards the house. Why don't she just letting path we have to make one. Thankfully this hill is steep enough but still go fast the first time down. Are you ready? Ready. Neither one. You go in the front, Thomas. Maybe you'll be in the back and I'll go in the middle. But I don't want to be in the back. Back has less breeze. Okay, I'll try it. Okay. Ready? Wait, I can't see anything. Pull your hat up high on your head, Thomas. Okay. One, two, three. Here we go. Wow. Wow. That was fast. No kidding. That was fun. I thought I was going to fly off. My hat flew off. Let's do that again. Back up the hill. Here we go. We made it. Should we go backwards this time? No. Then I really wouldn't be able to leave even without the hat over my eyes. Where is your hat? I don't know. Somewhere near the top there. I'm sure we'll see it sooner or later. Alright, Thomas, you go in the middle this time. Okay. Now go in front. But then I'll be in the back again. And it was pretty breezy back Though. Okay, I'll go in the back this time. Ready? Ready. Ready. Go. Ah, my scarf. Not again. Wow. You were right. The flat is windier. We're not gonna have any warm clothes left if we lose stuff at this rate. Well, back up, I guess. I don't want to climb straight up again. It's too far. I wish there was a way to go down the hill without having to climb up to the top again. Maybe if we walk around the hill, you won't have to go straight up it in a circle by the band taped. Well, if we went in a circle, we would end up right here again. So we're like half a circle, I guess. Let's have a pancake, I guess. I can't think of pancakes right now. I'm so full of breakfast. Want to hear door to Bell Mountain? Sure. Sure. Never mind. It's too hilarious. All right, hilarious or not, let's try going around it this time. Oh. Are we there yet? I don't think so. It's kind of hard to tell now that it's snowing. A snow will make a little taller, though. Hopefully not that much. Boy, this hill is bigger than I thought. I don't even recognize where we are now. Is that that neighbor's farm over there? I think so. We must be on the other side of the hill now. But I don't think we went up enough. I don't think this is easier. I know. I want to do that home. I know, but I don't know which way to go. We could walk back the way we came, but that will take forever. Plus, the fresh snow is covering the tracks a little bit. If we could find the top of the hill, then we could just sled back home. If we can even see home from the top with all this snow. Well, let's go up, and then we'll figure the rest out at top of the hill. Are we at the top? I think so. Maybe. It's kind of hard to tell now that it's snowing. What's that sound? No, it sounds like an animal. It's coming from over there. Let's go see what it is. It's a chicken. What's a chicken doing up here? It must be from the neighbor's farm. Poor thing. It's probably freezing. What's she petting at? Look. My hat. It's Thomas's hat. Aw, he was trying to get warm. That must mean we're going the right way. And there's my scarf. All right, everybody on the sled. What about their kitten? He's coming too. Can't let him freeze. We keep him warm and daddy can return him after the storm. Okay, Ready? We'll grab Mary scarf on the way down. And then there's a matojo. You better believe it. Hold on. Ah, this is the best. So good. I love hot chocolate.

00:10:17 --> 00:10:21 I can't believe you guys went all the way around the hill to the neighbor's farm.

00:10:21 --> 00:10:26 I can't believe you went sledding with a chicken.

00:10:26 --> 00:10:32 I know. It was actually kind of fun.

00:10:32 --> 00:10:35 I was just coming out to get you once I saw how much it was snowing.

00:10:35 --> 00:11:01 It was snowing so hard that we could barely see. You know, if that chicken didn't get lost, we might still be lost. And if we didn't get lost, that chicken might still be lost. And if my hat didn't get lost, then the predator will still be lost. And if my scarf didn't get lost, then the snow.

00:11:01 --> 00:11:07 Okay, okay. Let's stop talking of things being lost and be grateful for us all being here together.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:08 Not lost.

00:11:07 --> 00:11:28 Mommy's right. And as the song goes, I once was lost, but now I am found. Was blind, but now I see.

00:11:28 --> 00:11:32 I think our little friend is glad to be found too.

00:11:32 --> 00:12:27 And now that he's warm, I think I will find him a spot in the barn for tonight. Thanks again for joining us. We hope you enjoyed this episode.
