A New Jersey family found themselves in front of an extraordinary spectacle one hot summer morning.
The Rockaway Township Basso family was shocked to find a family of black bears happily splashing around in their backyard pool! We are very happy that the Bassos have all this visual pleasure on camera.

In this clip shared by the family, we see the mother bear and her 5 cubs totally enjoying the refreshing pool and other play accessories lying in the backyard. So while some of the bear cubs wrestle each other in the pool, the rest get busy working on the family’s swing and slide set.
As for the mother bear, she nonchalantly supervises her children as she lounges in the cool, rejuvenating water.

We love how each member of the Basso family had their own unique perspective on the bear’s visit in the background conversation. His little boy was excited at first, but then he got really stressed because the bear cubs “stole” his floaties. Dad seemed equally upset to realize that the bears were probably poking holes in the pool.
However, Mom was surely having a lot of fun witnessing the bear’s bizarre adventure unfolding before her eyes.

Despite the overall wholesomeness of the bear family’s fun pool party, there’s a moment that sends the Bassos into a panic. The mother bear grabs the electric plugged in pool pump and begins to play with it, even putting it in contact with the water.
Fortunately, the situation was brought under control and everyone was safe and sound! Keep the volume up for this lovely clip! 😆
