Santa Clause Is Coming To Town!!
in the meantime we went to visit him at Bass Pro Shops.
Yes, it is random, but we got the tip from our fabulous friend and neighbor Renee. Guaranteed the smoothest Santa visit we've ever participated in! The store opens at 9:00 am and Santa arrives at 10:00 am. We goT there at 9:30 and were the 3rd people in line. Having a few adults (Grandma Beth, Jason, and Barb) to hold the place in line was perfect. Once Santa arrived we were in and out in less than 5 minutes.
They have SO many things for kids to do other than stand in line; excellent idea!! The boys played with race cars for the first 20 minutes and had a great time (not sure who enjoyed it more Jason or Gavin).
In preparation for our move to colder weather, Gavin got in the spirit. We weren't really sure what the deal was with the fake snow, but he LOVED it. He turned and said "Mommy, can I lay in it?"
Whatever makes you happy Gavin! I mean really, doesn't he look thrilled to be laying in fake snow? Goofball.
He also asked if he could give Santa a kiss - so sweet! Jason said that was a little weird, but Barb thought it was adorable. Much better than the crying 2 year old deathly afraid of Santa that we could have had on our hands.
In addition to a letter writing station to Santa, race cars, a snowball throwing cage, a shooting range, a train track...they also had a Merry-go-round. Every time we came around he said "Daddy look at me!"
And then the perfect pose! What a great kid and what a great picture.
Now if you're not a fisherman, hunter, or outdoorsman of any type - don't count out Bass Pro Shops. All of this wonderful Santa's Workshop magic was 100% FREE. What a nice treat compared to the typical mall. Thank you Bass Pro Shops for making our Santa experience OUTSTANDING!!
This looks like about a million percent better than going to the mall with a ton of other people and paying way too much for what you get. Gavin looks adorable with Santa! Fun keepsake.
