Bearizona-November 1, 2011

I say it every month-where did last month go? It is extremely windy today. We are so happy we were lead to stick around here another day. Traveling in this would not have been pleasant. And I suspect it will not be a fun night of sleep. However, these days happen now and then. We will just hang in there and travel tomorrow. Today we went to Bearizona. It's a wild life park that you drive through. I believe there are a number of these around the country. This one is being vastly upgraded so down the road it will be fantastic. It was fun and we did enjoy the animals. We did not open our windows in the bear exhibits and we did not feed any of the animals. We saw white bison, Dall sheep, black bears, bighorn sheep, wolves, and American bison. They had an area that we could walk through with baby animals in exhibits. The bear cubs were great entertainment. Then we went to a raptor show. The birds were beautiful. They were allowed to fly across the audience. I was brushed on the head twice and Jerry was hit once by the feathers at the end of the bird's wings. We were asked not to duck because it decreases the amount of wind the birds fly on, so we sat very still. It was so unique. Susan who conducted the presentation was excellent. She made every moment extremely interesting. It was such a beautiful day, if you ignore the wind, that it felt great to get outside. I'm having a hard time deciding what picture to attach. There are so many. What a nice day!
