Bear World

(These guys are cute, but I really dont want to ever run in to one!)

When I ran in the Run for the Cure, I won a carload pass to Bear World. Mom and Dad have always wanted to take us there, but its always been way expensive, so we were all excited to be able to go for free! I always thought that Bear World was about 40 bucks to get in...when we got up to the window it was $75 to get in!!! That is so expensive! Im glad that I won the pass so we could actually go once because non of us can afford to pay that much money just to drive around and see the Bears! It was fun to see all of the animals and see how fat and lazy the bears were! We couldnt stop laughing because they would sit up on their bums and pretty much beg for food from the people in the big tour truck that drives around. After we went through and saw the bears, we stopped at the petting zoo and the rode on some of the rides for Teri. We were sad that Harry didnt get to come, but he is slaving away in the potatoes...and when hes not hes with his girlfriend :). It was fun to watch Teri and see how excited she got about small things. I wish I was little again! I guess we could all take that lesson from kids...enjoy the little things in life!

As for what we have been up to besides Bear World, Destry is still working hard for Blake. I am so grateful for the hard work that he does and that he has a job right now in times like these. He is such a hard worker and that is one of the things that I admire most about him. He is so good to try and help me out when I am busy with school and I appreciate it.

I'm currently traveling to Idaho Falls twice a week right now to teach 5th grade a Hillview Elementary. I love it there! My supervising teacher is so funny and the class is great. It is amazing how fast you become attached to those kids! I already lay awake at night and worry about some of them and their situations. I am so grateful for the opportunity I have to teach right now. It is teaching me so many things, and most importantly, I love it! Im glad that I chose a good major.

P.S. I will have to post the pictures when Im not running so short on time!
