Oh! It's so toot!

We had the opportunity today to go see and hold a baby bear. So we all loaded up, and got there to find a long line outside. It was kind of cold so i went to stand in line while the rest stayed and watched a movie in the car. (We never were able to do that when i was little. We had to stand out in the cold with mom and dad and freeze our tookises off right along with them.) Finally I had advanced far enough in the line that i was now close to the door. That's when the family was able to join me. I have to say that it wasn't that bad waiting because, 1- I met a nice woman in line (whose family was also in the car waiting for her advancement) 2- That baby bear sure was a cute thing. (Reminded me of Gizmo on the movie Gremlins.) and 3- They let me use my own camera for pictures just so i could blog it! I was so excited!

I guess i could mention that the little furry mammal came from Bear World in Rexburg Id. A great place to visit and we can't wait to go there ourselves. (A little advertising for them. It's the least i could do for them letting me take my own pictures.)

Kind of looks like a Klingon from Star Trek...

I don't know what it is, but there is something about putting something rather large on your head that just makes you feel quite mighty. Perhaps it's a child thing to do but I remember pulling shirts off until they got stuck on my head and instantly had really long hair. Or the all time favorite, balloons in my shirt to show how i've "grown."

But just this morning Eli found the perfect thing for his head. He almost had it right, but i think it was the point to NOT have it right. He found a brothers sparing helmet and put it on in Eli fashion. Pair it with a toy gun and he was set. Another way to take on his little world, I guess. I had a hard time holding the camera still cause i was laughing, so Jared had to do it for me. I sure love that boy.
