Bears! Oh my!

Brett and I have lived in Colorado for 15 years/14 years (respectively) and we had never seen a bear in the wild ... until last weekend. We were camping in Rocky Mountian National Park over the July 4th weekend. Friday evening Brett was cooking spaghetti for dinner. I was getting the tent & sleeping bags set-up. Orion and Isabella were climbing around on some rocks about 100 feet away. They came running back to the campsite telling Daddy that they saw a bear. Brett kind of dismissed them thinking they saw something else. But then ... he looked up and saw these two bears in climbing up the picnic table of the neighboring campsite which was only about 50 feet away. Brett yelled to the folks next to us to come help him scare the bears away. We chased after them making a lot of noise and the bears retreated into the hills. We definitely put away all of our food that night!
