TheFather's Day Bear!

Wow what a weekend. I asked Aaron what he wanted to do for Father's. Not to my suprise he chose to go CAMPING!! So we went up to the East Park Area, to Kane Hollow. It was Braddock's first time camping, and since he can't walk without falling yet, you can imagine how dirty he got. We had fun and I froze....We planned to stay all weekend, but friday night when we were finally getting to sleep, at 2:00 in the morning we heard a bunch of gun shots go off, that were really close. Shortly after that we heard a car pull away. Aaron and I were pretty freaked out. We were kinda worried we had just witness a murder. I was so scared I couldn't stop shaking, we decided maybe it might be best to go home the next morning. Well when we finally got to sleep and woke up we decided maybe we could stay the full weekend. About lunch time the campers next to us came over to our camp as they were leaving. They informed us that a bear had been in their camp the night before and had went to a couple other campers areas. They were the ones who had shot, because they were shooting at the bear. They said the car was their daughter and her family with a 5 month old baby getting out of there. They decided to get out of there before a bad situation possibly got worse. So because my husband is so afraid of bears, the poor guy, we decided being in a tent it wasn't worth the risk. we have no idea why the bear missed out camp he went to the one before us, and the one after us. It was kind of scary. So before our trip even got started it was kind of over. But before we left we did a little fishing, the moment we got out of the truck we heard that bear. It is a young bear that just got kicked out of the den, so he is very noisy, we heard him making his noises just in the trees where we couldn't see him. It was pretty fun to hear him make his noises, but confirmed our decision to leave. So much to our dissappointment our camping will come to an end until we have a trailor to camp in. My husband was such a good sport about it, the only thing he is really afraid of is bears, and as much as he tried to convice himself it wasn't that, it was. He was too cute. We did manage to get some pictures of the bear tracks, I will post them soon. I hope you all had a less adventurous Father's Day than we did, eben though it was kinda fun!!!
