Just when parents and kids thought the boredom was unbearable, teddy bears started cropping up in neighborhood windows. We went the first night and found like 20-something. I think now 21. Now we're up to like a hundred and twelve. Turning stir-crazy kids into stuffed animals scavenger hunters. So it can be like an Easter egg hunt almost except it's like bears. Bears have now been spotted across the country. Even going global, sightings reported in Wales and New Zealand.
A welcome distraction. It was really exciting and something fun to look forward to. The last one was the biggest of all that. Some neighborhoods have even turned it into a walking Safari with all sorts of wildlife. I have a five year old and she's learning animals she's counting all of them. It counts as school. A lesson in coming together even while staying six feet apart.
