Mother's Day

We have made it a bit of a tradition to head to Bear Country and Reptile Gardens for Mother's Day.  Bear Country offers half off their entrance fee, and Reptile Gardens lets Mothers in for free as well as giving everyone a season pass...and the boys and I certainly get our money's worth out of them by the end of the summer! :)  Grandma Brenda came up again this year, and Tony, Marla, and the boys went as well.  First stop...Bear Country.

My camera somehow ate the first half of the photos during the drive through Bear Country...so you'll just have to use your imagination to see the Elk, Reindeer, and White snow fox:)

The bears are probably everyone's favorite!

After you finish with the drive, they have an area with some baby animals that you can walk around and see.  This pretty thing greets you as you walk in.

what a cutie!

After Bear Country we went straight to Reptile Gardens to check out the Alligators and snakes!!

Next it was on to the snake show.

The boys took a quick ride on the...dinosaur before heading back in to town.

We finished off the day with a yummy lunch of chips and salsa and some good ole' fashion Mexican.  Grandma Brenda and I even got a carnation and free fried ice cream for Mother's Day!  We had a great day and I enjoyed getting to spend it with my family!
