I like adventures - take me on one. I don't care where I end up!

We took this bear on our 2016 family reunion trip to Alaska. We sent out nine bears, one for each kid at the reunion.  This bear's name is Chimichanga and he belongs to Jack who was 12 years old at the time of the reunion.

We made guesses about which of the nine bears would complete the following milestones by August 1, 2017:

• The first bear to be picked up: Sophia
  • Second and third bears to be picked up: Chimichanga and Misty
