This post is mostly for my mom and dad who came to visit us a couple of weeks ago. It was so fun to have them here and show them around Missoula. We explored the University campus, a couple of local parks and trails and ate lots of tasty food and ice cream. We were sad to see them go, but know they will be back soon. However, my dad was a little disappointed when he left because he really wanted to see a bear. It seems like all anyone ever talks about is all of the bear sightings in our area, and my dad had his heart set on seeing a real life bear. We looked and looked and almost left a pot roast outside tied to the fire hydrant, but no luck.
Well Dad, yesterday Wren and I got home from taking Wilson to preschool
and we noticed something right next to our driveway. Yep, a nice big
bear poop. It is really only about 15 feet from our back door. It kind
of scares me a little to think a bear was right outside our house when I
was safely sleeping inside. They are just nice black bears, but still a
little creepy. So sorry, no actual bear sightings, but one is marking
his territory just outside my house and will be waiting to say hello
when you come and see us again.

Oh my goodness! That's scary! Very cool in a way, but scary! And, it's bad enough having to pick up after your dog, but a BEAR?
ReplyDeleteThe other pictures are cute. I miss being able to explore parks in the mountain areas. Enjoy some for us, too! And, is Avery hoping for two front teeth for Christmas? She looks really cute!
How fun about moving to Misoula.. (not really the bear, but I hear it is amazing!) Trav's sister use to live there and has alwasy said that we would LOVE living there! Minnesota too cold or you just couldn't deal with the vikings loosing streak? ; )
