This is the photographic history of our lives which we hope you will enjoy
And on this page we record our adventures on an (almost) daily basis. Just pick a year and you will see that we are quite adventurous little bears
You will find that we enjoy the better things in life -good food, a few drinks. And that we avoid anything too energetic, like exercise
This is how we arrived at our parents house and we have another page with a few selected photos by country
Click on any year below to see what we got up to that year
