Bearizona!

     Amber's mom brought us up t the Grand Canyon for a few days, her fiance got an award at work (they both work at the GC) and he got a meal ticket for 4 at El Tovar- the most fancy restaurant/hotel here. So tonight we are going to have the most expensive dinner we've ever had, prepared by some really great chefs.

     Yesterday they took us to Bearizona, which is basically a zoo. The first part you can drive through- the animals are in separate areas but are left to roam free and play. We saw mountain goats, big horn sheep, dall sheep, Alaskan wolves, some other type of wolf, bison, buffalo, burros and yes bears. Livvy loved the bears.

    The second part you can walk through. Here they have Foxes, badgers, porcupines,peacocks, beavers, river otters and a farm animal area with goats chickens and pigs. You can actually walk through the goats, its cool.

    They have this area where they have juvenile bears- 2-3 years old, where they get used to playing and used to the keepers. They also have a place for the bear cubs, where they just goof off until they are big enough to join the bigger bears.

     Livvys favorite was the big bears. She wanted to go out and pet them.... no, they are wild still.

I could definitely live here, it would be perf for me.
