Saba's Last day in Flagstaff

with the hotel manager Raul. They became good friends...(of course)

A visit to Bearizona

 A drive through wildlife park...

Birds of Prey show

After seeing some of the animals we went to see the Birds of Pray show.

 Birds in action!

 we were all fascinated

Love those birds of prey!

visiting the birds after the show

 Giving the ravens dollar bills is a great trick to make money!

A must stop at the petting zoo

 saying hello to all the animals you can touch

And more of the wild animals we saw

Bison

 white bison

Javelina

and Lynx

Ophek was super excited to visit the new born baby bears in the incubator. They really were super cute

THE BIG BEARS!

 But the highlight was no doubt the big bears in the large open enclosure

 Remain in your vehicle and keep your doors and windows CLOSED at all time

 Who wins when two bears fight over food?

Ravens!

One last site of Mr bear before he walks off and we have to go home

Goodbye Bearizona, thanks for a great day!

way home

great view on the way back home (almost looks like a Fed Ex ad)

Matar and Ima on the horse

No we didnt compete in a race, just borrowed some ribbons for the pics

With the chickens

 Part of Saba Uri's daily chores was feeding the chickens

Going on a road trip to the reservation

 Our friend Berta promised Saba she will take him to the reservation next time he comes to visit. She stayed true to her promise and we all came along for the ride!

First stop...the desert
