My Indian Princess was Student of the Week at her school awhile ago. It was a very fun experience. On the last day she got to take a mama and baby bear home for the weekend. Complete with journal and instructions to write about all the fun they had for those two days. This was a task we took very seriously.

When they first came home, she set about making them warm and comfortable.

Because bears are naturally cold blooded and need extra warmth in a house that is heated to 68 degrees.

Then she built them a kennel.

Or cell.

Or whatever those enclosures at the zoo are called.

I think she called it a kennel.

But the project that took the most time:

A tree house for the bears.

With a slide.

Hanging from her bedroom wall.

So she could sleep with them.

She was very proud of her tree house.

And I was proud of her.

She did a good job taking care of her bears.

And I apparently take documenting to another level.

Our journal entry for the weekend was a full page, front and back.

Other, normal parents, kept it to a few paragraphs.

Really.

You can never over explain about a weekend with bears.

I promise.
