The Buffalo story made me laugh too. rofl

WOW! The plane is too close for comfort for me! :soar:

When we picked up Zoey in Malibu there was a Navy Airshow at Point Mugu.
They were flying F14s in formation over our head. Why didn't I bring my camera???

Juliet & cubs - August 17, 2010

The highlight of today was checking on Juliet and her three cubs. All were together. We were able to approach, and they were calm with that, but then something far behind us caught their attention (photo) and they hurried away.

Yesterday, we got our first look of the year at Jo's older half sister Keefer (6) who has 3 cubs, all females.

Emails are flying back and forth as dedicated people stretch themselves to make the Education Outreach project a success. Corelyn says this will be a work in progress for years to come as we incorporate more and more ideas for teaching. As one participant put it, there is a tremendous need to teach the truth about bears to school children. Now that she knows better, she is appalled to think of the wrong information she has given school children in the name of education. Now, Lily's fans are working to correct that, and to us that is tremendous.

The Lily and Hope fans are increasing the lead for Bear Head Lake State Park in Coca Cola's Favorite Park contest to win $100,000. The news coverage of their efforts is showing everyone how the Lily and Hope fans and the bears are benefiting the region. Park Manager Jen Westlund says "DNR Parks and Trails staff from around the state have noticed this contest and everyone is very humbled and thankful for all the votes we have received for Bear Head Lake State Park."

Thank you for all you do.
