Island Park and Bear World!

We went to visit Kevin's parents in Island Park. The first day Kevin and his brother and his dad went fishing so my very generous mother-in-law, Mary, took me and the girls to Bear World. We had always just passed by Bear World on our way to Island Park, but now we know what we were missing. Bear World is way fun!
We saw an albino elk, deer, bears, and wolves. Here is one of the wolves we saw sleeping in the grass.

Bear World not only had animals they had rides too. We decided to go on like the hottest day of the year it was 100 degrees that day - we were roasting! So if the girls faces seem a little red and hot it is because they are.

Here we are in the bear tilt-a-whirl.

We rode the rides twice - they were actually really fun. Mary was such a good sport and rode all the rides with us.
Out in front this adorable little mallard had made a nest for herself using petunias. They had even set out a little bit of water and food for her.
They even had a little petting zoo. We decided to feed the animals and as soon as we put the money in the dispenser this mama goat jumped right up and started eating right out of the machine.

Bear World was tons of fun and we saw so many animals; it was really a treat.

I don't know why I didn't take pictures of the rest of our trip but we had a really great time.

We had a BBQ out in their fire pit with hot dogs and banana boats - yum.

Kevin and I went for a 6 mile run in Harriman State Park. I had visions of wasting Kevin but hello being the super athlete that he is he ran ahead of me for a lot of the run. I was really ready to throw something at him. Thankfully I did waste him in the end but he sure held his own. It was actually really fun to run with him and it was a beautiful run; the most beautiful run I have ever been on.

Later Kevin's dad, Jim took me and Kevin on such a gorgeous float fishing. We were really supposed to be fishing but I couldn't help looking at the beautiful scenery. I am regretting not taking my camera! I caught 2 and Kevin caught 3 fish, so I did do a little fishing. Jim did all the hard work rowing us down the river and we were able to just enjoy ourselves. Thanks again Jim it was really a great float.

That night we went out for a great dinner to celebrate Jim's 60th birthday and had cake and ice cream. It was really fun for our family to celebrate with him.

We had so much fun Isabelle was all tuckered out on the way home.
Thanks again Jim and Mary we had a great visit!
