Beary Scary

At 6:30 on Monday morning, Colin woke up because he thought he heard something in the backyard. Sounded like someone/something dragging our plastic stool across the concrete. He ran to the window and exclaimed, "Nance! There's a bear in our yard!"!

I thought he was kidding, so I didn't get out of bed right away. But I realized he was serious as he ran down the hall.
We tried to scare it from the kitchen door, but it just kinda stared at us, and sauntered around the yard for a few minutes. Eventually, it climbed up a tree to go into the neighbour's yard, after it realized the 6 foot tall fence was not strong enough to hold him.

Look at this great photo of him!
What? You don't see a bear?

CRAZY! We don't even have any forests nearby! And there aren't any new developments going up either. So I have no idea where it came from or where it went. But now I get to be an even more paranoid mother than before.

Wow! Scary! We have a huge forest in our backyard and I'm always afraid that I'm going to open the door to a bear some night. Sometimes when we are lying in bed we can see the motion light go on and we always wonder what that is all about. The bears just seem to be everywhere this year! I feel bad for them...they must be really hungry to be coming down like this.
