WHAT?! Bear...here??!

So my friend Leah (Forrest's mommy) emailed me this morning with photos of what they saw from their driveway...A BEAR! They are the last house on the street behind us. Our houses are quite close, I am guessing 1/4 of a mile...but less if you just cut through yards and don't use streets!

Funny, my family in Alaska emails us photos when they get black bears in their yards and look, now we have one in our neighborhood! The word on the street is they are going to capture and relocate the bear.

Fun side note...our fence is not enclosed completely to our neighbors that live on that street and they do not have a fence blocking off the street. SO, although COMPLETELY unlikely, there is a way for that bear to venture our way. And today I was going to have Lacy play outside in the backyard all by herself on a new hand-me-down slide we got, while I made lunch. Ah...think it will be the both of us going out just in case:)

Pretty neat. And a little frightening. Our bears aren't out yet up here. Still snowy.
