BEAR WORLD

After leaving our family reunion, we decided to take a detour. Where we live there is a road side billboard with BEAR WORLD pasted on it. My kids have seen it a dozen times and everytime they say... can we go... please please please... well, the reunion just happened to be practically across the street! How convienient! So we convinced Dad to take us. Not only were there Bears, there were Elk of several colors, deer, wolves, turkeys, fish, swans, buffalo...and more.

RIDES!! FREE RIDES!!! ANDREW LOVED THEM AND WOULD CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY STOPPED!

can you see them? spot 5 bear teennagers

we were really hoping to see a BRAWL or some kind of ACTION!

This was the coolest thing I've ever seen... I was wishing they had a stuffed animal of him in the gift shop... An all white elk with budding antlers all in velvet. He looked so soft it was crazy... like something from a movie! I would have named him (t.p.?????????)

We had a good time. It was out little mini vacation. I'll take what I can get and be very happy about it. I came away from the reunion and this mini vacation feeling totally re-grouped! Ready to start new projects, organize my life and tackle whatever it is that lies ahead of me. Who knew a weekend in Idaho could do such things. (ahhh but it did so much more than anyone could ever know... I benefitted in so many ways from it.)

I spent one morning here:
REXBURG TEMPLE

What a beautiful temple and the peaceful spirit that I felt meant a lot to me. I always feel it when I'm at the temple, but there was something extra special about that morning trip. Hmmmmm wonder what that could have been?
