Bearizona

Our town just opened this place called Bearizona. Grandma and Grandpa Backey came to one of Kaleb's t-ball games and enterance was free for one week only to this place, so off they went. It's a small drive-thru wildlife park. Some of the animals had babies on display to enjoy.
Then you got to the bear section. You are told to keep the car sealed up even sunroofs as you drive thru the bear area. They are allowed to roam anywhere (yes, even right next to your car) and they interact with each other as they would in the wild.....(yes, let your mind take you there...let's say our kids now understand the saying "Does a bear poop in the woods?") Luckily they didn't see the baby bear makings....not ready for that yet. But what a neat place. It's still under construction but wow, it will be lovely when completed.
The 2 baby bears you walked to at the end of the drive. Rumor has it, they have already escaped and their enclosure has gotten taller since we were there.
A great place and I'm glad I took the kids a 2nd time that week to see for myself. Photo op with family!
