I spent today being the Blue Fairy while floating down the river with an assortment of elves, fairies and other creatures. The Portland Spirit has these Cinnamon Bear cruises which are pretty cute. We spend about two-hours, providing kids with a trip through Maybe-land. It’s fun, in its own way. It is also pretty draining. I keep getting home and wanted to go straight to bed.
I saw the ads on TV for those cruises, and I wondered if you got to be Cinnamon Bear. And I can believe it’s tiring; half an hour around my brother’s two kids tuckers me right out, and they’re generally well-behaved.
I’m the Cinnamon Bear in at least one promotional spot, but not on the cruises.
