Little Bear

There is a yearling and a Mom bear with three cubs in the neighborhood. The yearling is the only one to come to our house. Tonight was only the second time that we are aware of. This is a picture of Skinner having words with the bear.

Brandi "white cheeks Erickson" couldn't even get dressed she was so excited to see the bear.

Still in the tree.

This is our "sweet new ride" according to Brandi. It was about 45 degrees the first morning that we took it to work and daycare. I bundled up the kids and we went top down. They have asked to take it every morning since. The car looks pretty good in the picture but it is going to take some sprucing up this winter.

The kids helping me can some jam.

Cousin Anna came to visit and we took her to pizza night at the neighbors.
The next night Anna and Brandi got to go the play with Jim and Rebecca. They had a great time.

As I write this blog it is about 9 at night and the kids have been watching the bear who keeps getting treed by Anssi. He will come down on top of the playhouse for a little while and then goes back up in the tree. I am never going to be able to get them to bed tonight!
