Rosty had a neat homework assignment over the week-end. His kindergarten class has a bear named Brown Bear & every week-end he goes come with a different student. The student and their parents write in a journal what Brown Bear did over the week-end.
Brown Bear's adventure with the Menius Family was not a lot of fun.
Let's back up to Sunday. Rosty started running a fever and by Monday morning it was 103.1 F. Of course I called the doctor's office and they said to bring him in since his temperature was so high but to go ahead and give him Motrin and a cool bath. When we got to the appointment his temperature was only 101.2 F. They did do the rapid test and said he did not have the flu. The story does not end though.....his temperature reached over 104 F and I borrowed thermometers from my mother-in-law and neighbor so I could make sure mine was somewhat accurate.
His fever FINALLY broke early Tuesday morning. It was so heartbreaking to see him just laying on the bed, not moving, not talking just laying there. If you know Rosty you know it is very unusual for him not to be talking (he gets this from his daddy)! He still was not 100% and had a hacking cough so he got to stay home from school on Tuesday.
But back to Brown Bear.
Even though Rosty was back at school he just wasn't his usual self and on Friday he fell asleep on the way home from school. So Brown Bear hung out with me on Friday night. Folding clothes, getting ready for the Farmer's Market, fun stuff like that!
On Saturday Rosty spent the morning at the farm while I was at the Market. So him and Brown Bear hung out at his Grandma's house and watched TV. On Saturday night Rosty fell asleep at 6 o'clock. I let Brown Bear go to sleep then too.
But on Sunday Brown Bear learned about life at Wild Turkey Farms. Not only did he get to ride on the Gator & help feed but he got to help chase pigs. About 20 of our baby pigs were out and about in the woods. Rosty & Lee were in the woods looking for the pigs while me, Charlie & Brown Bear stayed close by where they were suppose to be in case they came home. We did get all of them but 4 and we refer to them as the 4 rouge pigs. They are on the farm just not with their brothers and sisters.
Brown Bear also got to go to some friends farm in Lawndale to see molasses being made. They had already done a lot of the work we got there when they were cooking the cane down to molasses.
So all in all I think Brown Bear had a good time with us. We hope he gets to come back to our house again and I'm sure we'll have another adventure waiting on him.
