August 2 The 90-acre Wood

Saturday Afternoon:  The last time Kaity and I visited Deer Park Junction was about 5 weeks ago. At that time, a NEW area was under construction but wasn't yet finished. TODAY ... it was ready for us! 

It is quite amusingly called "The 90-acre Woods" and if you are familiar with Whinnie-the-Pooh, you would know why!
Here are Pooh and Honey, 5.5 month old brother/sister. The keeper here told us that their mother was unable to care for them, so they have been "adopted" by Deer Park. 
Kaity took these pictures! Good job, Kaity!
At one time, both Pooh and Honey tried to get on the tire swing together, but then got into an enormous fight over it--it was very cute to see them go at it.
We were able to feed some carrotts to the bears too, using this very handy gizmo with a clamp to hold the food and stretch it between the fence wire.
Look at Pooh and Honey dancing!


The bear habitat is really nicely done, as is everything at Deer Park. People can go upstairs and look down on the bears playing, or you can even drop your carrotts down, down, down to them.
Kaity was pretty thrilled with them--they were totally entertaining.
I tried to get some good pictures of them eating the carrots that were offered to them.





I believe it was worth our entrance fee just to see Pooh and Honey! But there was much more to see and do out at Deer Park--there always is!
