Bears Finish Backyard Play Session With a Swim

: "This video took place in my backyard. The mama and cubs were in my yard all day hanging around, eating our trash, and playing. The cubs loved my kiddos play area and had hours of fun playing on the swings and wrestling. They worked up a sweat playing and decided to jump in the pool to cool down before continuing their shenanigans and found more fun with the duck chlorine holder. It was fun for me and my kids to watch them play like kids. Finally, around 4:15 pm mama bear told them it was time to go and they took a few more swings and one more ride down the slide, then squeezed through the gate and left. Thankfully there was no substantial damage to anything, just a few scratches, bite marks, and a couple of special bear presents to clean up. It was such a cool thing to witness."
