Field Trip to Cabela's

We enjoy making our children's favorite dinner on their birthday and treating them to a family outing of their choice. We were quite surprised when Gracie requested a field trip to Cabela's for her special date. We are pretty sure that she had influence from 2 very persuasive brothers. But in the end, it proved to be a great time for Miss Birthday Girl as well as her sweet brothers!
 
 
 
The store is filled with stuffed animals.. real ones which were hunted and stuffed. It is a sportsman paradise since they sell all things for hunting and fishing.. for folks like us it's a free aquarium experience. The free escalator and elevator rides are great too!




 
One of the employees, finding out that it was Gracie's birthday allowed us to feed the fish!
 

 
 
  
 
 

Both the elevator and the escalator were very worrisome for Grace at first. But it was a great opportunity for her to work through it. Like I mentioned in her birthday post, she is doing so much better in regard to motions, sounds and smells. Last year she would have lost it to ride in a glass elevator. Great job Gracie! We love you!
 

 
Down the escalator..

 
Now she's liking it! No, we are not going to go up and down
 for the rest of the night Gracie! :)

Mandy's favorite, an elephant!

When it was all said and done, the water fountain was Grace's
favorite part of the Cabela's visit
