Bear World

We were happy not to encounter any bears on our camping trip, but Abigail was bound and determined to see a bear before we got home. She said she wanted to "go on a bear hunt" so on our way home from Henry's Lake we stopped at Yellowstone's Bear World, which is about 5 miles outside of Rexburg, Idaho. This was definitely the highlight of Abigail's weekend. We saw Elk, Deer, Wolves, a Moose, and of course tons of bears: Grizzly Bears & Black Bears. She told me that she was a little bit disappointed that she didn't see a buffalo or a raccoon. Black Bear
Bear World had a bunch of little carnival rides for the kids - free of charge, since admission was a bit pricey. She is finally tall enough to go on some of the rides.
At the petting zoo. Abigail's favorite, the pot-bellied pig.
The Moose
Abigail met a friend named Moory from Chicago, she just hopped in the car right next to him and they were best friends from then on (well, at least for the next 15 minutes).
