Bass Pro Shop

Big Daddy took the 4 "big boys" to the Bass Pro Shop for some archery lessons. They thought this was VERY cool and enjoyed goofing off a little before the lesson started. I have never been to the Bass Pro Shop (seriously, why would I?) but after seeing these pictures I kinda want to go. This coupled with thoughts of wanting to move to Arkansas has me a little skeeeerd.
There were a lot of "stuffed" animals there
Bikes to sit on and feel cool....
Boats to sit on and feel even cooler...
I love how Zachary chose to "drive with his feet like dad"...Mark, do you really do this on your boat? (she asks like her brother ever even reads her blog...even when his children are the main feature for going on 2 weeks now)
Getting ready for the lessons on a beeeeeeautiful sunny morning...there were lots of cub scouts running around there. I tried to blur faces of kids not in our group...sorry if that is distracting.
Garrett takes his turn....love the concentration and form.
Parker's turn...hmmm the view from the other side of the lot was better...
Zachary...love the look he gives Uncle Paul before he gets serious lining up his shot...maybe he liked his position on Parker's turn better.
Tyler...from what I understand he was the best shot...
a few more turns for each of them now that they have the basics down...
So. Much. Fun. If you have a Bass Pro Shop and a little guy or girl who might enjoy it, look up the free stuff they have online...the boys even posed for a magazine cover that you can pick up online for FREE (or order mugs and tee shirts etc.) I am bummed I gave their moms their codes so I don't have them to share...but still, pretty cool right?

So cool! We don't have a Bass Pro Shop that I know of, but looks like a fun time for the kiddos! I love they way you post the pics now. I need to suck it up and pay for the premium picnik :D

Bass Pro Shops is my husband's utopia. I'm fine to browse for a little while. (However, my idea of a little while is about 40 minutes... his is a couple of hours.)

Every time we go to Springfield, Aaron HAS to stop at Bass Pro. It is a man's playground for sure. We took Reese with us once and she loved the live fishing tanks. Cool stuff.

Does Mark read your blog?

Shar said...

Um... Bass Pro is the bomb.

How fun to do archery lessons?!? Those lucky nephews!

I've only been there around Christmas and that was not bad as there were ornaments and things and sometimes clothes and kitchen stuff and a restaurant.

That's a lot of macho:-)

have never been to one but I bet my daughter would love it. Great pics!

Grand Pooba said...

Very cool! What great pics you got too!

We don't have Bass Pro Shops up here, but LL Bean and Cabela's have all that cool stuff (and Bean's even has a trout pond!) so I understand the thrills.

There's something about boys and archery. My oldest actually got certified to teach archery last year, and the kids in his group at camp are seriously reaping the benefits.
