   We got pictures of my wife, me, our daughter and the 2 grandkids today in front of some Forsythia in the front yard. I hope to send a copy of it to my SIL who is real good with computer/video editing and see if he can't have a Bigfoot or two photobomb us with his face in the bushes behind us then I can show the grandkids.

   My daughter and SIL got married at Glacier Nat'l Park in Montana and he edited a picture to show a big grizzly chasing them in their wedding attire. My now 11 y/o local GD was about 3-4 y/o at the time and she saw the picture and was convinced the bear almost caught her Aunt Sharon. I told her the only way they escaped was that it was a female grizzly and my daughter tossed her bouquet over her head and the bear stopped to catch it and that allowed them to escape.

   I am sure my SIL can do a good job convincing the kids Bigfoot was hiding right behind them here in our yard. ;D

Good for you Howard,you gave those kids something that they will never forget.Childhood memories are probably some of the most valuable things we possess.

  They are certainly very fond memories for me. Time spent with kids is absolutely priceless. :) :) :)

We have a group in SE Texas that "hunts" them.  I have spent 50+ years on my hind legs in the woods here.  Seen bear, cougar, civet cats and river otter when they aren't supposed to be here, but no bigfoot, other than some back woods barefoot boys.

   We just did a video call to our daughter and her kids and she showed them the picture and our GS is so excited now. He went and got his hair he collected from the barn and held it up to the picture and confirmed it is exactly the same color so he is certain it was there and we did not know it. He asked if it was in the other pictures and we told him no but we are pretty certain the flash must have scared him off. Our GD says she remembers smelling something funny and now she knows what it was.

 Our daughter was having a blast at their reactions. Now they want to print a copy to go show their friends.

Photographic proof that they exist! Question though- Why were you standing off by yourself in the bushes during the picture?  :D

What did Bigfoot eat for lunch?  :D
Under bark there's boards and beams, somewhere in between.

   The kids and my daughter are now working with 3 theories:

1. Bigfoot is real and we have a picture of him (Most likely true)
2. Something was wrong with Grandma's camera which she had just gotten back from the shop (Possible but a pretty remote chance)
3. Somebody doctored and changed the picture (Highly unlikely  :D)

   They asked for the other pictures we took before and after this one to see if he shows up in them. (Pretty savvy idea for a 4 and a 6 y/o IMHO)

    They are going to have to send the photo to a "Photo analyst" to be verified as well as sending the hair out for DNA analysis. ;)

     I just wish I had a picture of my GS eyes/face when he first saw the picture. It was priceless. :)

   On the way home from my first sawing job this afternoon I passed the house of our daughter's best friend who took the picture. She was out in the yard so I stopped and showed her and asked her why she did not say something when she took the picture. She said she was so busy with the unfamiliar camera she just did not notice she was getting photobombed. :D

Looks like the real bigfoot. Parts his/her hair the same.
