Bo Bear

Since the beginning of time, kids at Ellie's elementary school have got to take turns taking BO(prounced Beau, or BOW) Bear home for the weekend.
He is their Class bear. When it is your turn to take him home, you're suppose to do fun activities with him. Write in his journal about what you did over the weekend and then you get to present it to the class on Monday.

Quite some time ago, it was Ellie's turn she was very excited, he did many ***activities, and Ellie's sweet Mom found him some work clothes to do chores in and even knitted him a *hat to keep his furry ears warm.



Taking a ride on MayBell. (A life long dream)

Collecting eggs








*** Don't even ask me about how nasty I think this idea is, and about the places this bear has probably been, not to mention the germs and nastiness that has been shared (we tried to do our part, hehe ;) ) but HEY, the kids LOVE it!!

p.s. please forgive me if I have already posted these pics, I honestly couldn't remember.
