The Bear Ranch

One of our first stops during our 2-week vacation in the Upper Peninsula was Oswald's Bear Ranch. Mr. Oswald rescues abandoned or injured bear cubs and raises them on his property. The public is welcome to visit the ranch and view these fascinating animals. During our visit, Sloane was extremely eager to see the baby cubs and pulled me to the fenced in area where they were actively playing. She was entranced to see them climbing, running, and teasing one another similar to how her and Russell interact. When asked by Mr. Oswald if they wanted to go in with the cubs, Sloane did not hesitate! She rushed in to see them and pet them while Russell was given the opportunity to feed them fruit loops! It was an awesome experience!!!
