Lions and tigers and bears! Oh my!

One of the coolest things we did in SD was Bear Country USA. It's a drive through wildlife park, with the main attraction being lots of bears of all kinds- black, brown, grizzly and baby black bears (the cutest little suckers).  Besides the bears, we saw reindeer, wolves, (caged) mountain lions, and burros right outside our car and it was tons of fun seeing the boys point and "ooohh" at all of the creatures.  Highly recommended if you are ever vacationing in the area!

grizzy (this guy was fenced in the walking portion)


baby black bear. cute. cute. cute.  they're taken away from their momma after 2 months 
because the males will kill them to get to the females to mate again. not so cute.

"they're everywhere!" 

"uh. Mom? that bear is staring at me."

hot and tired, but showing off his bear tattoo

finally showing off his tattoo (but the wrong leg;). he SCREAMED while getting his.
