Bears and Sea Lions!

In the past few years our bear population has really sky rocketed!  So much so that we are pretty much guaranteed to see one upon leaving the house.  Yesterday, I heard that there was a Mama Brown Bear (sow) with.....Are you ready for this.....QUADRUPLET cubs hanging out over at Allison Point.  Now THAT'S something special!  Even for these parts!  James Michael and I took a little detour on the way home from dropping Husband and Elijah off for their 5 day rafting adventure and, sure enough, the bears were right on the side of the road!

We watched for half hour or so, during which time James Michael noticed we were low on gas and wondered what would happen if we ran out.  I suggested he could push the truck home.  His reply?  "Not when YOU'RE in it!"  Stinkerhead.

Back to the bears.....So tonight I loaded up all the kids, took them to the grocery for a very healthy meal of corn dogs, bananas, and Strawberry milk  (Husband is gone...remember?  Doubt we'll be eating anything NOT out of a box this week!) and headed across the bay.  The bears were easy to find.  Tourists were lined up F.O.R.E.V.E.R.!  Did I mention how good the bears are for tourism?

So, are you ready for some pictures and maybe a video? (If I can figure it out that is!)  Here goes!

Ughhh!  The video won't work.  Well, I'll post and keep working on the video part!
