In a whimsical forest, the Bear family - Mama, Papa, and Baby - approach "Hibernation Station Hotel." Papa, an overweight, jovial bear, opens the door to the lobby where a middle-aged clerk greets them. Their deluxe room features a twin mattress for playful Baby Bear and a king for Mama and Papa Bear. Papa Bear, lying on his back, sinks into the bed. A split screen shows the mattress's internal structure: purple base foam, blue top foam, and an air chamber. The hand control, operated by the clerk, adjusts the firmness from "50 R" to "73," pleasing Papa Bear. Mama Bear, finding the bed too firm, has her comfort adjusted too.

They arrived long before Mexico gave him the grant. Edwards became very angry and tried to take over the town. The Mexican government did not support Edwards. Instead, they annulled his contract. Edwards stayed in the area and attempted to start a rebellion. On December 21, 1826, Edwards and his supporters claimed part of East Texas free and independent of Mexico. They named it the Republic of Fredonia. They even had support of the Cherokee in the area. However, most Anglo settlers in Texas did not support Haden’s rebellion. When a group of men from Austin’s colony joined with Mexican soldiers to march on Fredonia, Haden and his brother fled to the United States.
