Cinnamon Bear

A few nights ago I came home to find Chris and Blake totally enamored with "The Cinnamon Bear". It's a twenty-six chapter holiday radio program originally broadcast in 1937. Blake was amazed that radio was the main entertainment for a family back in the day. She fell in love with Cinnamon Bear and the magical world of Maybeland.

In the days since we've turned on the radio program (thanks internet!), turned off the main lights snuggled on the couch and listened while watching the Christmas tree lights twinkle. It's really been magical and I feel positive this will become part of our holiday family tradition.

So when Chris saw that the Portland Spirit had a "Cinnamon Bear" cruise he had to take Blake! So while I was at work they had a fancy-pants time!

There was, of course Cinnamon Bear:


This picture is dark but we were able to buy a professional shot which seconded as an autograph book.


A few characters were on hand to sign autographs and pose for cute photo ops.


The cost of the ticket included food, drink, and a magic show!


And the view rocked! When all was said and done, Blake said it was the best time ever.
