A Day with the Polar Bears

I’m a bit late with this, but the three of us spent last weekend in the lovely town of Cochrane. I knew it would be an exciting weekend when, on our drive up, we passed a moose on the highway. I slowed down for it, and it wandered out in front of us an scampered to the bush. Sorry, no photo available, but trust me it did happen.

We spent Saturday afternoon at the Polar Bear Habitat. We got very close to one of the bears. In fact, we stood face to face with it for a good 10 minutes. Jonas was very interested, of course. He was actually playing peek-a-boo with the bear. He would hide behind our legs, then peek out and giggle at the bear. Very cute.

We stayed over in Cochrane, which seemed like a good idea at the time. And I guess it was a good idea. However, sharing a hotel room with a toddler means we all went to sleep at the same time - about 9 p.m. We kept thinking we could have watched a movie had we driven the hour home. Oh well.

Here are a few pictures from a fun weekend.
