Bear World Rocked MY World!!!

I'm back in Rexburg this weekend and today we got to go to Bear World. Everytime I drive up to Rexburg, Bear World is sitting there on the side of the freeway and I think, 'that looks kind of lame.' Well today, I ate those words. I love seeing wildlife up close, and I especially love seeing baby animals and since I basically saw Bambi today, I was one happy lady. But I'm getting ahead of myself. To prove to you how awesome Bear World was, I am providing picture documentation below.

"I want to go in!"

 While we were waiting for Cammie's friends to arrive we went and petted the horsies.

BAMBI!! But where's your mother?!

The park prides themselves on this white elk.

Right before we entered the bear area we were warned by the park employee that the bears were really active today and some were climbing on cars. We were actually pretty excited to hear that.

Bears everywhere! I think we saw at least 30.

Adorable picture of my nieces Sammie and Katelyn.

 I absolutely ADORE this picture!

And this one too! One of KK's best.

"Kiss the bear."

Cute little cubs.

Angry bears

Sammie staring down her arch-nemesis, the swan. Apparently the last time they were at Bear World she tried to feed the swan and it bit her whole hand. She gave me a very dramatic re-enactment (sans swan) of what the terrifying event looked like.

Petting animals is so exciting.

More Bambies. I just love them!

Every time Sammie tried to pet this deer it would push her off with its head.

Getting some deer food.

The BEST ride at Bear World

So amazingly scary!

Jeep ride

Sammie got to sit up front and ring the bell. She was so excited.

 One last picture with the big bear.

It was so fun to play with the girls and see, pet and feed live animals. Thanks for taking us, Cammie.
