Sleepy Grizzly

We are at the wildlife zoo near Kamloops for the second time in two months (the place is that awesome).  Legend is exhausted from the day and we are on our way out of the park.

The last enclosure before you leave the park belongs to an old, gnarled grizzly bear. The bear was napping when we went by the first time, but now he is getting up for a stretch.

Legend has all but passed out on Daddy's shoulder, arms limp and eyes closed, so I don't try to make him look at the bear. He is spent.

A crowd has gathered to watch the bear stretch and yawn. We are all quiet, in awe of the massive animal.

"Raaawwwwwwwwwrrrrrrrrrrrr!" breaks the silence.  Legend has suddenly awoken and is as impressed with the bear as we are; he just expresses himself differently.
