Idaho Falls--Bear World

The second day we were in Idaho, we made dad end

his day early and we went to Yellowstone's Bear

World. It is a lot of fun!! The first thing you get to do

is drive through a little forest area that has Elk, Deer,

and Mountain goats. The are all just wandering

around and you drive past them in your car. Then you

go into this gated area were they have all the bears........

about 30 if I had to count them. There are 3 grizzly

bears and the rest are black bears. So you just drive

around and the bears just walk in front of you and

beside you as you go. You definitely leave you windows

up. This time while we were there we went on a courier

tour to feed all those big bears. We went in this big tall

truck and the bears would follow us from stop to stop

and the girls would throw out bread, donuts, and muffins

at them. They had so much fun. There was one bear that

would just clap at Lexi, as if to say "throw the food already"!

They each picked their favorite bear..Lexi's was

Monty and Shelby's was Bailey. You could pick

Bailey out pretty easy because she was all black

except for the brown mohawk down her entire

body.

They also had a petting zoo and a little amuzement

park for the kids. Lexi loved the petting the deer. She

would just follow them around until one got upset and

kicked her in the leg. Then she was heart broken and

wouldn't do it again. She couldn't believe that deer had

actually kicked her!!! Shelby loved chasing the chickens

to try and pet those fast little guys. Makena was

fine petting anything as long as its face was turned

away from her. She did not like their faces.

Makena's favorite thing was the rides. They had a

little roller coaster, some cars that went up and

down, a train, and I ride that goes up and down

really fast and tickles your tummy. Everytime

the ride would come down her eyes would get so

big and she would just giggle and giggle

.

And this is what little Karli thought of Bear World.

Maybe next time she will have more fun!!!!
