BEAR

We just got back from a week long adventure to Lake Tahoe. One thing about Tahoe is it happens to be bear country. Well, we got a special visit from one such bear Friday morning after my dad put the garbage out for pick up. Isn't he cute? (We thought he was cute because we were safely watching him from the balcony)
As much fun as it was watching Toby the Tahoe Bear (that's what we named him) we had to somehow get out of our cabin that day. So my brave father stepped up to the challenge. He ventured down the steps, climbed into his large suburban, and honked until Toby left.

Then Logan climbed into his car and the two of them kept Toby at bay while the rest of the family cleaned up his mess.
The next morning, we were loading up the cars to come home. All standing outside la dee dah when someone looked over and saw this:
Either Toby came back, or he told his friends about a sweet score. Dirty diapers! Yum!

Oh my heck! How scary! You have some brave family members. Cute pics (only because I'm looking at them on my computer screen) :) Glad you made it out of there alive and in one piece!
