Shannon Kook Instagram – Not everyday you get to wake up and have a coffee in an outdoor hot tub to then be joined by a family of bears foraging for breakfast beside you. I got to put the bear spray down and take in the magic 🤩. This is the first time I’ve seen a bear besides driving by 1 quickly on the way to Alberta. They have always been something I’ve worried about during my hikes in Canada and this was not the way I pictured my first eye to eye with an actual bear ☺️😍🙋🏻‍♂️. I was sitting in the hot tub thinking, “Hmm…it’s kinda quiet maybe I should check the landscape…” then stood up to meet the Mama🐻 staring at me. You can see her kind of in a ready stance not sure what to make of me…till she’s satisfied and just starts chomping at the tree while her cubs fumble about. So we watched this from the comfort of our hot tub while enjoying the rest of my coffee. What a priceless way to start the day! 🐻 🤩 ☕️ ☀️ 🏔 Pemberton, British Columbia
