Are We Always at Bass Pro?

Ok, first let me give my disclaimer. Bass Pro does have some really cool kid friendly stuff... for free. We went to a chili cook off last month. Morgan is learning to shoot a gun at a kiddo booth there. So, off we go for family night and the introduction of Santa. Bass Pro has the best Santa in town. Hands down, he's the best. And, he's been there for years. Remember this shot from last year.

I was a little bummed at the picture this year. I think that they must have a different photo company out there. It was yellow and blurry. So, we are going to have to go back and get that winning shot to make Morgan's yearly photo ornament. I made one last year. I'm bound and determined to make one every year with him. I wonder how many years this Santa will be around? Hmmmm.

UPDATE! We went back to Bass Pro right after Thanksgiving. I took matters into my own hand and took my own picture. Yes, I guess that we are always at Bass Pro.

Fall Festival

Jo and I took the kiddos to the Fall Festival at the elementary school the other day. I remember back in the Hyer Elementary school days. We always had a carnival. It was so much fun. It was outside on the field. There were tons of booths set up. My favorite was always the ping pong ball toss. We would toss a ping pong ball on to a bunch of beta fish bowls that had gold fish. The prize was a real goldfish! We also has confetti eggs. How cool is that?!?! This festival reminded me a little of the Hyer days.

They had a DJ in the cafeteria and a ton of kiddos hula hooping on stage. Morgan got knocked off the stage once (only 3 steps) and whacked in the head a few times with a hula hoop. He broke one hula hoop by bending it into a totally different shape. But, he had a great time.

This shot right here is an example of me missing the perfect shot due to a delay on my digital camera... uggg. Semara and Morgan just got finished kissing.
