Crossing off number 11!

I went to Bearizona wildlife park! I saw lots of bears! So that means I get to cross number 11 off my bucket list!! It feels good to be making progress.

Before you get to Fort Bearizona you drive through the Ponderosa Pine forest and you get to see animals in their natural habitats. The first animals I saw were the bison!

Here they are eating dinner.

Plus Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep.

And a wolf  —  But I have a feeling you already know what my favorite part was…

When I was a little kid I wanted to be a black bear when I grew up.

Maybe because I like to climb trees!

I stopped by the gift shop to check out this really cool model train.

And I made a new friend! His name is Buster.

Fort Bearizona has enclosures that are a bit more like a regular zoo – those are javelinas!

And here I am with a turkey.

I took a short rest by the goats.

People were very friendly at Bearizona – this is Brandi, and this picture was taken by her future husband, Dylan. They make a great couple!

I also met this Keeper, Lisa. She’s truly a kind person.

She even gave me this sticker! Which I’m now keeping in my satchel.

By the way I found another pink jeep. Just like the ones in Sedona.

If you’ve never been to Bearizona, I highly recommend it.

Especially if you like bears.

 

Thank you Katherine for taking me on this trip to see the bears!

And thanks to Dylan, Brandi, Nikki, and Lisa for the pictures, the sticker, and for making my day better!

  1. It was so fun! This experience brought out the fact that we walk around the world maybe unaware that we’re surrounded at the time by kind, supportive souls! I hope Dylan, Brandi, Nikki, and Lisa all see the kindness within when/if they see their photos here. Thank you posting those!
