Okay, it may seem a little strange, but we planned a day of fun out at the BassPro Shop with our friends Laura and Anna. You can always count on Laura to find some thing fun and wild to do. This was no exception. The BassPro Shop is a HUGE extravaganza of outdoor fun. It is a virtual museum of taxidermied animals. We started out with drinks from the Starbucks in the store. As the girls explored Laura and I sat in front of the gigantic aquarium filled with fun fish. You can see the catfish who was checking us out from time to time. The tank is something like 8' by 15' and is glassed in on two sides. Then we checked out the chuck wagon section. Laura bought fun candies. We then ate a yummy lunch in the restaurant in the store. This was followed by a few pretend boat races. Laura taught us the "boat wave." The girls rigged the race by offering us the slower boat that topped out at 60 mph, while theirs could to up to 85 mph. However, being a fictional race, we decided that our maturity helped us navigate choppy storm waters, so we protested that we won. We then went shopping, checking out camping gear, the knife boutique and the "Fine Gun Room." We were there for over 3 hours and did not do everything. Next time we will have to try out the archery range and the shooting gallery. We topped it of by trying out the ice fishing tents. I am told that many people plan their vacations with time to stop off and have fun in the store. I can see why - we sure had a lot of kitschy fun!
