Bears and Wolves...oh my!

We have a membership to the Bear and Wolf museum in West Yellowstone, MT. It is great fun to go and watch the bears and the wolves, and sometimes other animals. On this visit, we got to the museum just as the feeding program was beginning. This meant that our kids could go and hide food for the bears inside their habitat (while the bears were put away, of course). We'd been wanting to do this for a while, but never have been there while they were doing it. The kids were excited, and a little apprehensive.

I loved the icicles dripping from this bear statue.

One of the beautiful wolves. We got to hear them howling, it was very cool.

That is pretty cool! Especially because I've never seen a bear... well outside of the polar bears at the zoo.
