Luke has been getting bored. He has now started biting his nails (throw up), and I fear it has something to do with staring at me all day! I think he may need to start school, like tomorrow. With it being winter, there are not a lot of places to take him to see animals, which he loves more than life. I am pretty much Pet Smarted out, the Aquarium is quite boring and the husband is NOT going to get an animal in the house. This is when I turned to Cabela's!
I am a first timer.
Amazing.
Right when we walked in he kept saying, in his soft 'stewart' voice, "I love this place, I love this place, I love this place. That makes two of us already in love with Cabela's.
He ran. He stared. He smiled. He would hurry, then slow down, and then just take it all in. He asked a million questions about all the animals and couldn't believe they really had a POLAR BEAR! Almost two hours later, he was ready for a nap, and so was I.
You may already be aware of the treasure at the point of the mountain, but I'm sure glad we finally partook today!
I was thinking this was a cheap field trip, until he dreamily looked into this elk's eyes and wanted him to come home with us. This is him, begging me and explaining he couldn't leave without him.He made sure to show him his mommy and daddy!
Elkie is as close as it's going to get to a real pet!
The funny thing is, we went upstairs to the little shooting range for kids. Oh yes, there was a family of three little cowboys with the boots, belt buckles, and hats hitting every single target. I asked Luke if he wanted to try, and he said yes. Until he actually had to hold a gun...he wouldn't even touch it!
The circle of life. All at Cabela's.

That sounds exactly like the first time Matt went there:) When we move, he will have to come have Cabella's days with Matt because,"I just don't appreciate Cabella's"
They always get you at the gift shop!
I take my kids on a field trip of the garbage dump every day...I just parade them through my front room. Loved this post and (as if I don't say it enough), I love you too.
Hey, if Luke is that bored we could get the boys together one day and play. We love Cabelas too. Our first month living here, we went every Monday night for Family Home evening so I could get squirt by the skunk at the shooting range. How fun.
I'm there. I have never beeen their either. I think Kaden would love it. Good suggestion. I can't believe how in to it Luke was. I don't know if Kaden would love it that much.
If you go at noon (I think) you can watch them feed the fish. That's pretty cool, even for adults. Luke is so dang cute!
Soooo cute! Dan is so proud that someone loves Cabela's as much as he does!
I love this post.. As for the no animal in the house- Jeremy and my hubby should get together. I have not been to Cabela's yet, from the looks of it I must go. He is such a cute little boy.
You are going to have to come to SV one weekend we have baby lambs that would excite him. Go to our website and show him the pictures. We too love Cabela's, but we don't get their very often. Good thing.
yay for Cabela's! Luke loved it...how cute! By my fourth child I am somewhat burned out of all those places, but when I take Mace, he LOVES it and I remind my self he needs it as much as my first. You are a good momma. BTW, I can't believe how grown up Luke looks! oour babies :(
I miss having a Cabela's close by, though it's probably a good thing the nearest is in Nebraska & we haven't visited the one in Utah. Too much money leaves our hands in that place!!
My kids too love Cabelas... It is fantastic place!!
