Sarah has been studying Bears over the past month. The small Science Club we belong to decided to take a field trip to "Yellow Stone Bear World" (near Rexburg, Idaho) and the Wolf and Bear Discovery Center (in West Yellowstone, MT). It was a great day of learning about bears and their habitat. What a great way to have fun together and enjoy some "hands on" learning in the process!
Yellowstone Bear World is a zoo of sorts. It's main goal is to share wildlife that are common to Northern Idaho and Montana. They have a small drive-thru "safari" of sorts. As well as a large petting zoo filled with some usual and not so usual animals.

DON'T FEED THE BEAR!The next day we were thrilled to have the opportunity to spend some time at Yellowstone National Park.
Later in the Day at the South Entrance of the Park
The highlight of the day was Old Faithful! We had fun checking out the Historic Old Faithful Inn and shared a meal with our friends from back home.
A fun time shared with the best of friends...

Looks like a terrific trip! What an adventure. I love the gorgous montains! Glad you didn't get to close to the bears!
