The Sherwood Forest Adventure

 Once upon a time 4 girl cousins set out on an adventure in search of strange things in the woods.  Each had a bucket to fill it up with their great finds.  Come on kids....Lets go!
 Papa Joe was assisted by his faithful line leader Laura Jo...who self appointed herself as such.  She helped lead the way and quickly found a ditch full of murky, yucky water.  Everyone wanted to take a dip, but No .... wait.....(can you feel the suspense mounting?)
Papa Joe sees something ... Hey Kids!  Look.....Lets see what that is.....
So they continue their search for things to put in their bucket.  GIRLS...Watch out for bear poop, burrs, and things that can scrape, bite, & harm you.  This forest is a dangerous place!
Emily cries out....I have NOTHING in my bucket!  It is empty!  I must put it on my head and hide my shame!
 NO, NO....Emily!....says Aunt Stacy.....We will soon find the treasure of the bears.... they are probably watching us at this very moment!...but have no fear...I have a stick to fight them off with!
                               HEY!  Wait up!  Where did Papa Joe go?  Wasn't he leading us?

WOW!  We found a tree to stand on...it don't get much better than this!  Everyone smile for the National Geographic camera person to take our picture!
HEY EVERYONE!  I found the bear's treasure!  They love these berries!  I think I will pick as many as possible so they will have nothing to eat, but ME!  ahhhh!
And so goes the cousin adventure....Tune in next week when we will find the four girls bunjy jumping off Mt. Dora......
