Spring Break

Bearizona
Bearizona is a wildlife park located about an hour south of the Grand Canyon.  Its main attraction is a huge fenced off nature preserve where the people drive through, staying in their cars of course, while the animals roam free.  While Bearizona is best know for its large population of black bears, there are also bison, mountain goats, wolves, big horned sheep, several varieties of birds of prey and other mountain dwelling animals.
 This black bear is only a few years old.
This Bison was so close to our car we could almost touch it.

 The Pinks get to touch a very patient goat at the petting zoo.

Tucson
No Spring Break would be complete without a trip to Tucson to visit our friends, the Ross's.  Thanks so much J & C for hosting us.  We had a wonderful time.
