Bears in our neighborhood!!!

Michael was getting in the truck to go to work around lunchtime, I was working at home and the girls were at preschool. He heard something rustling a tree across the cul-de-sac from our house....a bear!! I came running to see! We stood in the garage watching a big black bear tearing up a tree across the way. All of the sudden we heard a rustling coming from the woods right by the garage!! We scrambled and made we could make it to the door if we needed to. Another big black bear ambled by about 10 feet from us! It was the closest I've been to a bear in the wild. It was pretty awesome! We watched them for awhile and they just strolled on down the street!
