Seeing Santa

The day after the Christmas program, we took our annual trip to Bass Pro to see Santa. Mimi was able to come with us which made it even better since Daddy had to work! Ethan had been thinking for weeks about what he wanted to tell Santa that he wanted for Christmas and he had finally decided on a bow and arrow. Caden, however, got tongue-tied and was only able to repeat what Ethan had said. After the fact, he thought of three different things that he had really wanted to tell Santa. The Bass Pro picture turned out way better than the one I was able to take with my phone.

 The boys always love all of the activities set up after their picture...

Train table

 Monster trucks

 Race track

Before we left the picture area we rode the carousel but Mimi has those pics.

And then, no trip to Bass Pro is complete without testing out the ATVs...

Caden has his serious face on and is going Vroom, Vroom. 

He was hilarious!!

 

 Cheese!

 Last, the boys wanted to see the fish. Ethan vividly remembers the huge tank at the Bass Pro in Rockwall and this one is okay but it doesn't compare to the awesomeness of the one in Texas. However, the man who cares for the tank saw how interested the boys were in the fish and he came over and spent 30 minutes answering all of their questions about each fish. God bless this man! He had all of the time in the world for the boys and seemed to genuinely enjoy talking to them about his fish :-)

Another great Santa visit in the books!
