A family in Simsbury, Connecticut recently had fun watching a black bear have some fun of its own on their backyard play set. The bear climbed up the ladder and slid down the slide as the family watched with glee. The family shared a video of the bear with local news, and now many people are enjoying the light-hearted moment.

Sarah Loving told local news that she and her family of four had returned home from lunch and spotted a pair of bears in the backyard. That’s when one of the bears really made itself at home by taking a turn on the play set.
After going down the slide, the playful bear and its companion hung out in the yard for a few more minutes before moving on to the neighbor’s yard.
“They seemed so comfortable on the playscape,” Loving told local news in an interview. “We just kept joking that they probably have been before.”
If it had been there before, they hadn’t seen it, but it’s likely this family won’t forget this experience any time soon.
