Bear with balloons.

We went out for ice cream last night to one of those places where you order your ice cream at a window then sit outside to eat it. The place is , literally, in the middle of the woods. Anyway, as we and several others were sitting eating our ice cream along the edge of the woods we saw a bear , and not just a bear - he was carrying a bunch of balloons. I'm not kidding! Many folks took his picture - I did not have my phone in hand so I couldn't. The folks working there said they see a bear there often but he has never come out of the woods or bothered anyone. However - the balloons were a mystery. We decided they must have been in someones yard and he liked them so he took them. No - there was NOT alcohol or hallucinogenic drugs in the ice cream. There was a bear with balloons. I bet today his photo is probably on facebook.

That must have been a very funny sight! Too bad you didn't have your phone. I hope someone does post a picture of it for you.

Another thing that was funny to see was the Amish kids taking out their phones to take his picture.

The Amish - until they are baptised - are allowed to try out things like cell phones. But it is weird to see someone dressed plain pull a phone out of their pocket.

I hope he didn't try to eat those balloons.I would have liked to have seen him when they popped - as they surely would have from his claws.

Bears just wanna' have fun! Did you hear about the story of a bear break in? This guy slept right through it in his second floor bedroom. He went downstairs to find carnage in his kitchen: clearly this bear was an experienced pro. He is a wanted criminal.

The guy thought it was a human who broke in, but his home video camera showed the bear-who knew exactly what it was doing when it came to pulling off cabinet and pantry doors!

I guess you could say this bear was a party animal.

I hd to giggle when I saw a young Amish teen driving his buggy with foam dice dangling from the front windshield.

Maybe it was the bear's birthday ? ?

Animals, and the things they do, are simply amazing. IMO, there is little that is more entertaining than animals in the wild doing their thing.

Hugs . . .to all.

The story about the bear that broke in to the house while the guy slept (soundly) upstairs.

It looks like the bear wanted to make himself some breakfast!

That happened to my aunt. She was staying at a place in Colorado in the mountains. She'd baked a pie and left it out to cool and went to take a nap. She was aroused by a loud ruckus in the kitchen. It was a bear that had eaten her pie and was taking the kitchen apart. He'd come in through the screen door.
