Ten years ago was the last time we visited the
Vince Shute Bear Sancutary as a family. The boys had been there a few times over the years with other family members or friends.
Well we finally had a weekend evening free and what do we do? We hit the road and do something. NONE of us do well with just being. Something we should actually work on. But our weekends and time to do what we really want are pretty limited. Not that we don't want to travel for sports but sometimes we just need to have something different.
Going back and reading the 2009 post makes me laugh and cringe at the same time.
The boys were tiny, would never remember it, busy, harder to handle, etc...but we still took the time to do things with them. I still laugh that I thought we were heading to the bear dump to watch the bears from the back of our car!
But here we are 10 years later and nobody peed off the observation deck, we didn't have to tell anyone not to yell or run and I wasn't concerned about anyone falling asleep in the car unless it was the driver.
Still enjoy watching the little ones get down from a tree.
Too "old" for a face painting tattoo, but will totally take one on his hand.
Bears = Bugs
And these new insect repellent wipes were a MUST towards the end of our evening!
Just open them up, wipe your skin and carry on.
Still trying to get over the fact that he has me beat in height. But love that he'll still hang out with us.
