Our Visitor

We've had a problem with raccoons lately and the other night Colt was going nuts so Matt went out to see in hopes of getting a coon. He looked down the hill right next to the house and about 50 yards away was a black bear. He hung around down in the meadow for about 45 minutes...not really in a hurry to go anywhere. The kids thought it was pretty cool to get to see him in his own environment. He was just wondering around, turning over rocks and tree limbs, looking for food. Every once in awhile, he would look up to see what we were doing, then go about his business.

Only once did he think about coming up the hill, but Colt was quick and put the bear up a tree, then he came down and just kept wondering along.
