They’re made with great tasting ingredients, come in kid-favorite flavors (ours is Chocolate Chip!), and are perfect for tossing in a backpack, lunchbox, or purse. I grab ours at Walmart to keep things simple and stocked. @Zbarofficial

Backstory: It was our last morning and Myself, my

Backstory:
It was our last morning and Myself, my mom and dad were sitting outside by the fire drinking coffee enjoying the view. My mom was walking to the door and my dad and I heard a scraping noise on the deck. I was sitting and the column was blocking my view. Dad was standing. He turns away from me, and says super casually:

“Oh look, it’s a bear.” 🐻

I jumped up sure enough there is a baby bear standing at the top of the steps, 12 feet from us. We ran in and locked the door and called for Bobby and EK to come look. We left our coffee outside and mom and dad’s phones were out there. Thankfully I had mine for video!

We had grilled steaks the night before so they were coming to find the food. (After the first morning…we had grilled the first night too…we saw bear paw prints so we knew there were some in the area.)

Emma Kate was recording on her iPad, and got the best clip of all, the very best one! He actually seated at her two different times but we only got one on video.

It was quite the adrenaline rush but also SO COOL and a great way to end the trip!!!

*Please do not ever approach or feed a bear. While black bears typically aren’t aggressive, if humans feed them they will continue to get close. If staying in the Smoky Mountains stay aware and never leave food outside or in your car! And lock your car and cabin doors.*

I’ve had an interesting first few days of being in my 40’s. A bit of a nerve wracking medical week I guess you could say.

Have you ever had an MRI? Do you suffer from hearing loss? 👂
