Santa's Workshop

So, Dennis has really wanted to go the Bass Pro Shop ever since we have moved here and we haven't had a chance to go, until Friday. We figured we would go and see what it was like and spend maybe an hour or two at the most and leave. Well, when we arrived, we found out they had a Santa's workshop that just opened this week. It was so awesome. The kids loved it. They had a table where the kids were able to color a picture of Polar Express Train. Then, they got to go to another table and right a letter to Santa (which had a spot for the parents to fill out their email address and Santa would email them an answer to their letter that the parents can print out). Then they had a mail box that they got to put their letter in and raise the flag on. They also had some shooting target games the kids to do, along with play with some remote control cars. Then, they could get their picture taken with Santa for free. But, it was 2:00 when we were there and Santa didn't show up until 5:00. We thought we would miss him but had no idea we would be spending another 3 hours in the store. While we were looking around, Belle had an accident and her diaper leaked and soaked her pants. So I changed her and was just going to leave her in the diaper because we were going to leave but the kids saw Santa showup and insisted on going to see him. So we had to shop in the store for Belle some pants because I didn't want her to take a picture in just a diaper. Anyway, they took some pretty cute pictures and when Santa gave them a candy cane(even though none of them would talk to him) and a coupon for a free kids meal at the resteraunt there. Since it was already 6:00 and we were an hour away from home, we decided to use the coupons and eat at the restaurant. So, we didn't leave until almost 8:00. I had no idea we would spend a whole day in one store, but I think the kids had a lot of fun not only with Santa's workshop but also seeing all the animals and fish thoughout the store.
