SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA — A family in South Lake Tahoe got some unexpected guests around dinner time recently, when a mama bear and two cubs stopped by for a visit.

Video on the neighbors app shows the mama bear walking away from the window and across the snowy yard, only to be followed by two cubs — one moving slowly, the other charging ahead to the driveway.

The first cub then stops, gets on its hind legs and peers in the window before dropping back to the ground and continuing down the driveway.
