Yellowstone Bear World

I can't tell you how many times I've driven past this place. (On a daily basis while attending BYU-I) I always wondered why people would pay to drive around a park to see what I "thought" I could see from the road...

For all of you around the world, Yellowstone Bear World is different than Yellowstone National Park. They are a couple hours away from each other.

Anyway, my sil Alisha came up with her 3 kids while my brother works long hours as an accountant. And Grandma (my mom) offered to take the kids to Bear World. 

Once we got there, we all climbed into one car, along with my Aunt Cindy, and Dallin.

Holy cuteness!

We drove through the park, and the kids LOVED the animals. Ledger pointed to every moving thing he saw.

Next stop, the petting zoo.
Ledger went absolutely nuts, chasing chickens and kissing goats.

 Check out that pig with a nose ring. 

After we tormented the animals enough, we moved on over to the rides. The kids loved the rides just as much as the animals, and Ledger cried each time we came to a stop.

Best aunt award definitely goes to me :)

My favorite part was climbing onto a big truck and taking a tour. They let us feed the bears, and taught us interesting things about all the animals, including their names. We got a kick out of the bears clapping for food.

Catching a piece of bread.

I'm already looking forward to our next trip, making sure Pat will be able to come along. 

I honestly couldn't believe how much fun it was.
Thanks Grandma Yodi!
And trust me, you can't see it all from the road :)
