Bearly Escaped

If you ever happen to run across a bear, you can either run away or climb a tree or roll up in a ball and pretend that you're dead (like any good survival book would tell you to do) or... you could chase IT up a tree. At least that's what my three younger siblings, Isaac, Benjamin, and Hannah did. This bear got lucky... If it had been next week...
It would have been bear hunting season...

And he'd have been dinner.

Funny! I think I would have died with a bear in our yard (or anywhere on our property) How did they chase it up the tree?? The picture of Josiah is just sooooo cute! (though, like Jordan said- a little freaky:) His birthday is around this time, isn't it?
By next week, there will be no bears to speak of...

Yes... as crazy as it sounds, they actually chased the bear a few hundred yards before it went into a tree (they said they wanted a "better look"). The bear was maybe a bit bigger than all three of them combined (and would have been twice that size if things had gone sour). On my part, I would never chase a bear up a tree, but I am happy to blog about it.

And yes, Eden, Josiah's birthday was just a few days ago.
