Bear bear's near death experience

I have been remiss in blogging due to the fact that I am surrounded by thirteen very intense teenagers this week. But today my family came home with a harrowing tale of a teddy bear's fall into the river. Here is the story (in pictures) of Bear bear's near-tragic accident and heroic rescue.

Lucy leans over on the bridge and *gasp!* Bear bear falls into the river

A local fisherman tries to get him out while Lucy looks on nervously.  The waterlogged bear proved to be too  heavy and broke the hook right off the line.

A local kayaker (mom of another child at Urban Ecology Center camp) is summoned and heroically saves Bear bear from a watery demise.  Tory of the UEC returns Lucy her beloved bear.

Back at home, Lucy gives Bear bear a bath in the coaster wagon.

Coen hoses off the river water.

A traumatized Teddy dries on the line.

THE END.
