An 8-year-old surprised her stepfather in the very best way! Leonardo Avila was brought out to a baseball field and told to keep his eyes closed. When he opened them, stepdaughter Alessandra was standing there with a special sign asking him to adopt her. The two originally bonded over baseball, so it definitely was the perfect setting! Alessandra "popped the question" back in September, but the touching video is now going viral, and on Jan. 10, Alessandra officially took Leonardo's last name.

As it approaches a camper inside his tent, the bear gives the man's shoe a little nibble before running off. That's about as close to a bear as we'd ever want to be, thank you very much. View Now
