n
n Inhave no clue about why today, of all days, is “Teddy Bears’ Picnic”nDay. This is not the date that the song was written, nor the date itnwas first recorded or released, and it isn’t the birthday of thensongwriters.
n
n
n
n
n
nStill,nwho can quibble with the delightful idea of having a picnic with yournteddy bears? If it’s hot where you live right now, how about a picnicnat a nearby lake, seashore, forest, mountaintop, or even swimmingnpool? n
n
n
n
n(Warning:nmost teddy bears DO NOT like to swim! You should definitely considernkeeping your bear buddies out of the lake, ocean, and pool.)
