GEO-BEAR Project -entry 1
Today our co-op will be making Geo-bears. If you haven't heard of them you should really check them out. Basically they are Teddy bears that the kids send out to travel the world. They are passed person to person rather than by mail. As someone recieves a bear they fill out a travel log for the next reciever, or Guardian, as they are called to read about the bear's previous travels. They let the sponsor, or owner, of the bear know by regular mail (postcards, letters, ect.) or e-mail where the bear is and what the bear is up to. A lot of times they will enclose pictures, small souvenirs, or more information on a location. So, later today watch for a post on the Geo-bears. Also, we will continue to update and track the bears locations on this blog as information is recieved.

I received Baloo, the Geo-bear today. I received him today in Mobile, Alabama, where his sponsor and I were visiting for a family get-together. We drove from Mobile to Huntsville, Alabama. He will be spending some time here with me (Leeann) and hopefully he can see some neat places. I will take good care of him.
