On what I saw in Alice's backyard when I was about to upstairs

Bears!

 Mama and one cub. Black bears. Mama seemed on the smallish side.

They were eating apples fallen from a tree behind the house. I happened to have my camera on me so I took some flash-less pictures while quietly calling for the others. They didn't hear me over Mark's music in the kitchen, so I had to fetch them. We watched them for a few minutes before the noise from Anna and Maria alerted them to our presence and they ambled off into the woods.
