Bears invade a New Jersey backyard, have a pool party and steal a little girl's toy

Let these bears chill!

Human beings aren't the only ones who want to hang out in pools during the summer. First, there was that bear in Vancouver that busted through a fence to chill in a hot tub.

And then the Basso family in New Jersey had a family of bears invade their backyard pool:

The bears were pretty alright in that there pool, but not so much for the young girl who really wanted to use it. "They took my floaty!" screamed the girl in horrifying sadness. When you've got bears in your pool, you just let them take your stuff. That's a life/survival lesson.

By the way, this bear fight from 2014 took place a town away from this backyard.

New Jersey's definitely got the ... *looks around* ... bear necessities. (I apologize for that pun.)
