ColoradoBennett





This weekend we went camping about an hour west of our house. Saturday morning we woke to the sound of a black bear breaking the glass on Adam's truck. He broke out the window on Adam's topper and reached in for a few hot dog buns. This is a picture of Adam running after the bear. A friend we were camping with was so scared she sat in her tent and called 911. A Sheriff came about an hour later and the Colorado Division of Wildlife also showed up. It was quite an adventure. If you look in the first picture you can barely see the bear over Adam's right shoulder. We spent two nights up there, so we had a little testimony meeting up there to try and make up for missing church. One of the dads bore his testimony about being outdoors and how he felt it was second only to the Temple for spirituality and revelation. He talked about how important he thought it was to teach his children to love the outdoors. I thought everything he said was wonderful and it made all the hassle and effort of family camping worth it.

That is awesome Adam. To bad about the car and all but the bear thing is pretty funny. I would have laughing hystericaly, (or screaming). The lady how the police must just not like wildlife. As my mom says, "it is just like you to run after the bear and get your hot dog buns back." How is Kia? is her toe feeling better? I love you all.
