There is a little free zoo not too far away from where we live and we were able to squeeze in a little trip there yesterday. Conner LOVES the bears and could spend all day watching them. I have been lucky enough to see two bears out in the wild...kinda. The first year we moved to Vesper Conner and I were going for a walk through our neighborhood and as we were turning a corner we saw a great big black bear walking the streets. I have to say that I panicked a little and rushed in the opposite direction for the gas station where it was safe behind glass doors : ) The second time I saw one we were heading back to Eau Claire from a mowing trip to Vesper and a black bear jumped out into the street in front of our car. Neal was napping and by the time he got his glasses back on the bear had jumped back into the woods.
