First Visit to Bass Pro

This weekend, we made a trip to visit my parents in Springfield. As Sophia flew crazily around the room pretending she wasn't tired, we adults tried to keep our eyes open in the early afternoon lull. I popped up with "Bass Pro Shops! Sophia's never been!"

Sophia really enjoyed sitting on all the ATVs pretending she and Lulu were bumping along some unplanted field.

She was a little less certain about all the dead animals that were standing around. She insisted that she was too close to this bear.

Since she wasn't quite sure what to think, she told Erick that she was afraid of the ducks. I suppose that was because they were the only live things that it made sense to be afraid of. So he had to assure her that all ducks do is quack and paddle their feet. She seemed to be happier after that.

A game of camping peek-a-boo seemed to help allay her fears.

She fell fast asleep on the way back to mom & dad's house, so we had to end our trip for fear of waking the beast. Erick and I were much more awake, though, so Bass Pro did the job!
