ROCKAWAY TOWNSHIP, N.J. — A mama bear and her five cubs decided to beat the heat in a New Jersey backyard pool.
Tim Basso posted a video online showing the bears climbing into his family's above-ground pool, tumbling out of it, dragging around pool toys and climbing on a slide and swing set.
Basso tells News 12 New Jersey his 3- and 5-year-old daughters weren't eager to share their toys. One of the girls can be heard on the video crying out "No!" as a cub grabs an inflatable toy.
The family watched the bears from inside the safety of their Rockaway Township home.
Basso says he thought the bears would stop only briefly for a drink but ended up frolicking for nearly an hour. Given temperatures of over 25 C in the state and high humidity last week, it's no surprise the bears wanted to take a swim, slip down a waterslide and maybe take an impromptu bath. They picked the scenic Rockaway Township for their vacation, although their spot of choice was Tim Basso's backyard
At one point a bear picks up the young girl's inflatableTOY

 in its mouth. The girl yells, "No! My floatie!" as the bears toss most of the toys out of the pool.  
They proceed to pop several inflatable objects in the yard, in between playing with swing set. The girl worries aloud that they're going to eat her toy "bubble guppie car." 
At one point, the girl screams as the mother bear drags a pool pump into the water along with it's ELECTRICAL wiring. The bears appear not to have been injured.
Eventually, the bears climb back over the fence and disappear, leaving behind the wreckage of a sweet pool party and a brown haze in the pool.
