The Bass Pro Shop

Wow, what a store! We had a great time at the Bass Pro shop. It is a HUGE store dedicated to hunting and fishing. We don't hunt or fish but we heard it was a fun place to take kids, and it is! They have a waterfall, aquarium (where they give fishing tips and try out different baits on the fish), stream, target practice, putt-putt course, and tons of "stuffed animals" (including, beavers, bears, lions, wolfs, raccoons, and of course deer , moose, etc.) Hallie loved the aquarium but was horrified by the target practice. She asked us "Did they FIND these animals dead or did they KILL them?" Trevor and I responded "Umm... Uh-huh, Hallie look at this cool fish."

changing authors...All in all, for the price of gas and $1.50 in change we had fun. Afterwards, we went to the parking lot where most everyone had parked a chevy or ford pickup with decals of animals on their shells. We lifted the back door of the minivan and sat to drink pop. Kathryn fed Campbell, I made a bandaid for meg out of electrical tape and kleenex and we called it a day.
