Cabela's

When we woke up this morning Mike told Brody that we were gonna go to Cabela's. I should've videoed his excitement! We planned to leave after Barrett's morning nap, so Mike told Brody that if he took a short morning nap we'd be able to stay at Cabela's longer. Mike and Brody laid down on our bed to watch a hunting show and Brody went right to sleep!

We parked by the big boats and that was our first stop when we arrived at Cabela's.

As soon as we got inside we headed straight for the restaurant. We had promised Brody that we could eat lunch at Cabela's and he talked about Cabela's corn dogs until the moment he finally bit into one! Then he told us he needed to go thank the cook for making it for him "because it's really good!!!" Barrett enjoyed eating the beef sandwich and pasta salad that I had.


My favorite part of Cabela's is the home decor area. They have some beautiful log furniture and many, many other things that would look great in our house. It's all kind of expensive, so I just enjoy looking. Brody really tried to work his charm when he saw a kid-sized couch that flips out into a bed. He tried every way possible to convince us that he NEEDED that couch!!! He even showed us how he could sleep on it and told us that it was "REALLY comfortable"!

For some reason we couldn't find the four wheelers at Cabela's (much to Brody's disappointment), so this ATV had to suffice. Brody told us it was just a big golf cart.

There's an area in the store with lots of animals on display (taxidermied of course). Brody's favorite part was the "talking guy". One of the displays had a guy that would tell you several different stories when you pushed the button by the display. Brody listened to all the stories several times!

While Mike was browsing thru the camo clothing, Brody thought it was funny to hide in the camouflage shirts and tell us that we couldn't see him because he was surrounded by camo.

It's a good thing that I was taking pictures of him hiding. Notice anything in this picture?
Later I realized that Brody didn't have his hat on his head anymore! Arg. Where could it be in the store? I turned on my camera and looked for the last picture of him with his hat on. Then I saw the picture above and knew right where to look!

I don't have many pictures of Barrett because he was riding in a backpack on my back...and I was the one taking the pictures. He enjoyed looking at the animals and the fish just like his big brother. Thankfully he also still enjoys riding in a backpack!

We had a lot of fun together at Cabela's and it really didn't cost us much. We actually made it out of there with just spending money on lunch, a card, and a bag of candy! I love that we were able to have so much fun together just walking around a store!

Brody dropped his baseball cap and was stepping on it?
