Home security cameras have captured the adorable moment a mama bear and her two cubs enjoyed playing on a swing set in Colorado.
The family was spotted making the most of summer on Wednesday in southwest Colorado Springs, as one of the cubs stopped to hop on a swing.
Homeowner Mike shared video of the special moment after his home cameras recorded the mammals.
The bears were also seen crossing the street before they made their way to the playground.

The first clip starts with the family-of-three leisurely making their way across a grassy, tree-filled lawn.
The mama bear initially led the way for her babies before they ran in front of her after their excitement took over.
They cross the street as the mom goes in one direction while her cubs explore the grass around them before following her.
The mom then leads them behind a group of trees as a mail truck drives past on the road.
As soon as they spot the playground, the babies quickly gallop over to check it out while their mom keeps an eye on them.
One of the cubs attempts to climb a tree while the other hopes up on the deck area and explores.

After falling from the tree, one of the cubs jumps on a swing with its two front paws before leaping over it.
The trio then continue to explore Mike’s backyard as the video ends.
‘Despite popular misconceptions, mothers with cubs rarely attack humans,’ the Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said, adding that humans should still not approach a mama bear and her children.
The agency added that in the late summer and early fall, bears have to forage up to 20 hours everyday. People should never offer bears food, CPW added.
There are an estimated 17,000 to 20,000 bears in Colorado, the agency reported.
When cubs are born in the winter, they weigh less than one pound and are blind, toothless and covered in ‘very fine’ fur.
By mid-May, the cubs weigh 10-15 pounds and stay with their mother for the first year of their lives.
When the second spring rolls around, cubs are independent and separate from their mothers by autumn.
In July, a mama bear and her cub were caught climbing inside a hatchback in Connecticut
The bears destroyed the inside of the car while the horn was blaring and the radio blasting
In July, a mama bear and her cub were caught climbing inside a hatchback in Connecticut.
State environmental conservation police were called by the car owner on the morning of July 15. They destroyed the inside of the car while the horn was blaring and the radio blasting.
They opened a door, and the two bears scurried off into the woods, while a third cub who was outside the vehicle followed.
The car’s interior was left completely torn apart by the animals.
Officials believe they got in the vehicle by opening a door, but it is not clear how the door closed behind them.

Jason Wightman from Sierra Madre didn’t know how to react when the 300-pound animal walked through an open door and into his home at 5:30pm on June 4.
He shared a nail-biting five-minute-long video of the interaction to Facebook that amassed more than 2,000 views.
In the unbelievable clip, the animal cautiously poked it’s head around the corner and looked at the homeowner, before stepping closer.
After talking to the bear, Wightman soon realized there was a second one in his garden.
The bears clearly didn’t want to leave, even after the man opened a door for them and continued to make noises to scare them away. Eventually though, they climbed over a fence and left the property.
