It isn’t a tall tale…

So we were sitting around the campfire having s’mores on Tuesday evening …

Enjoying ourselves…

And there was a guy coming in from fishing with a couple of crazy dogs and suddenly he yells, “BEAR! Get inside!!!”

We all thought he was yelling at a dog named Bear, but suddenly…

We all ran inside, but the bear was long gone into the woods and we all came back out to gather our stuff.

Leroy carried around an axe for the next couple of days and escorted everyone to the bathroom and back.

And that is NO tall tale.

The stuff family memories are made of! I can imagine Nate telling this story to his 40 kids... "Once we were camping and a group of 1,579 bears came running through our campsite!" LOL :-)

so you hadn't yet gotten up when the bear ran through...? my kids didn't believe me until they saw the blog! now they don't want to go camping - i had to do some convincing to make them believe they won't be where we're going!! unreal.
