We have been in Fairmont Hot Springs for two weeks. There is a family of deer living in our backyard. Soon the bears will wake up. This is my story about a grizzly bear family in Canada.


My brothers and I made a grizzly bear hut outside our house. Dad let us eat our dinner inside it at night. It was so fun.

Once upon a time there was a family of grizzly bears who lived in the Rocky Mountains. There was a mummy, a daddy and three babies.


This is my picture of the grizzly bear family living in the forest in their den.

After the winter hibernation the family was very hungry so one of the babies went to go find berries. All the berries were up the hill, so he went up. Then a mountain lion saw him!


Sometimes I go running with my mummy. If we see a bear we have to stop running. If we keep running the bear will try to chase us and attack us.

He was so scared so he called for his mum but nobody answered. The mountain lion came closer, he was ready for a snack.


This is a photo of my Dad and me going hiking in Kootenay National Park. Dad took his bear spray and kept on the lookout for bears.

The little bear ran down the hill. He was very scared. Soon he saw his family. He gave the berriers to his mummy and she cooked a pie. She was very happy with him. The little bear ate half of the pie. It was very yummy and he was so happy to be safe and full.

All those wild animals around you are amazing. I guess you have to remember that they can also be dangerous and I know you will be careful. Those bears in the den in your picture will all be waking from their hibernation now and I bet they’re very very hungry. I like the sound of berry pie. When I was young my mum used to make blackberry and apple pie and we used to pick the blackberries from the side of the hill where we lived.

If I was a grizzly bear I'd move into that cozy hut you made and eat the crumbs from your dinner. Much nicer than the snow.

We left some sausage out in the hut one night to see if a bear would come and move in! We will do it again soon now it is warmer. Love Heidi

Wow what beautiful writing, Heidi! You'll have to update us about any signs you see of bears waking up from hibernation in your area. Maybe some footprints? Or leftovers from their snacks? What an exciting thing to be living in a real life 'bear hunt' all the time!

Yes we are looking out for their poo and footprints. Dad saw a bear on the other side of the valley through binoculars. But we have not seen any bears close up yet. Love Heidi

I love going in to the forest and looking for bears. Hopefully we do not see any baby bears even though they are very cute. The Mummy bears can get very angry. Love Heidi

I love your story about the Bears Heidi. I wonder how many are hibernating around where you are staying. Looks like you guys are all having so much fun.

The bears are waking up now so we have to carry bear spray when we go hiking. It is very exciting. Love Heidi x
