BEAR WORLD

We thought we would go down the road to Bear World and check it out.

They have a portion of the park that you drive through and look at all the wildlife.

They have just a few Bison, a bunch of caribou, some deer, mountain goats, petting zoo, 

and of course bears. Lots of bears it was pretty cool.  The other part of the has rides for the kids.

                                           The cubs were fun to watch wrestle and play

We got to pet baby bears

 

Graysen on the ride with mom. We ended up not getting to go on this ride because our  safety belt wouldn't latch.

not very often you see a peacock with it feathers fanned out.

One of the coolest things is we got really close to the moose

We went on half price day so it would be cheaper, but spent a bunch on this beautiful souvenir.  Ethan slipped getting on the roller coaster and was all strapped in and ready to ride, but the ranger lady thought he was bleeding too much.  I got him off the ride and took him to the bathroom to clean him up. He wasn't cry at all, but he really wanted back on the ride.  After I got him cleaned up I muttered under my breath 'looks like stitches'. Ethan heard and thats when the drama began.  He basically wanted to sit down and take a nap then he was too hot, anything to stop the trip to the doctor.  We finally got him in the car.  By this point there was no more blood so we thought we would drive around the park and look at the animals on more time.  Then we dropped the other kids off at the neighbors and took Ethan to the doctor.  I couldn't get him out of the car for a few minutes he said I am just going to run away from you. Which he did first to the back of the van then to the side. Finally got him inside and calmed down after moving in to a normal kid friendly room with cars painted on the wall  and the wound numbed.  He was actually being really good by this point. The room where the stitches were preformed really freaked him out.  So we had to make a human burrito out of Ethan.  The doctor put Ethan arms behind him in a pillow case then we warped him up in a sheet.  The the doctor put the stitches in. to help Ethan keep his mind of of things we did math problems which he got all correct and was only a little frustrated when adding three numbers together.  What do you expect he is the son of an Engineer?

five stitches this picture looks really good.
