Birthday Weekend

 I don't care how old I get I am always going to love my birthday when celebrated like Brad and I do.  This past four days we went to Shenandoah National Park here in Virginia.  What an awsome time.  The weather was perfect with the crisp fall weather yet beautiful sunshine to show off the fall color.  The best part was we saw our first BEARS!!!!  All that time in Yellowstone and not one bear in Shenandoah we saw TWO!!!  The first a comfortable distance away, the send about 10 feet and well that was a little to close for comfort.  We scared him as much as he scared us. . . we didn't get a pic of the second because he ran away before we could get the camera out. . . so I am kind of glad we didn't get a pic of him.  Here are some pics of the first bear and the some highlights of our wonderful weekend.

Happy Happy Happy Birthday Brittney!  I looks like you had an awesome birthday weekend!  I am so excited that you saw a bear.  We were disappointed that it was hard to find bears in Yellowstone, my brother and I saw two bears on one visit, but Jeff and I went on many visits and never saw bears.  Have a super birthday today.  I am thinking about you.  Julie:)

Ummm....why do you WANT to see bears?  Wouldn't it be a successful camping trip without running into a giant hungry black bear?

anyway.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTNEY!  What can I send you from California?

Jake's birthday was yesterday.  He's 12 now!
