I took the girls to Bass Pro Shops last week, but was so sick that we left after a short time. Now that we're all over it, and I'll be gone for 6 days next week, we decided to have a day out, starting at BPS again.
Kevin hadn't been there yet, so I warned him about the crowds. Hopefully, when the new wears off, it won't be so crazy busy all the time. We wandered around a bit and Kevin and the girls all took a turn at the shooting gallery. Kevin's pretty good!
After checking out the fish in the massive aquarium (we were there at feeding time,) we were treated to lunch by Kevin. The restaurant there is quite good! We got two dinners and all shared everything between the 4 of us.
After shopping around some more, just looking at what is there, we left and headed to Walmart for a couple of essentials that were forgotten yesterday. While there, we thought we'd check the clearance racks for pants for the girls.
Boy, did we hit it big! I got a new pair of khaki pants (needed for trade shows) for $7, and the girls got jeans for $5 a pair! I was so glad that we stopped. By the time we left there, we were all beat and ready to come home.
It was good to hang out together, and we all had a good time. I didn't mention that I had missed the Nationwide race today, and now I see that it's on again! I won't watch the whole thing. Something isn't the same when you already know the result.
I am ready for warmer weather. It's been winter for 4 years, it seems. I want green grass, BBQs, sunshine and flowers. I want windows open, breezes blowing, and birds singing outside.
It's coming, I know. I'll be in the desert in 6 days, but it's not supposed to be ALL that warm there. Still, 60s will feel pretty darn good.

We have had a BPS for about 7 years. They are a lot of fun. No crowds anymore. My girls are still small enough to love to watch the fish for a really long time! Good deal on the pants!

Rachel, I hope you all are feeling better, glad you found some good bargains, Hugs Lisa
sounds like a wonderful weekend.
Sounds like fun shopping.
Don't worry....the warm weather will be here soon enough.

That big cat fish at the BPS was caught by Scott Westerman. I believe when he caught it, it weighted 90lbs. She now weights over 120 I believe.
We have birds singing and sunshine. But no green and no flowers. But the trees are budding so the green and flowers aren't too far off.
