What a BLAST. Because we had gone to the fish ID class last year with the girlscouts, we opted to arrive at noon for the fish feeding. There is a huge tank in the middle of the store. One of the employees came out and fed the fish goldfish and worms. The big bass in the tank was over 13 pounds, just a little smaller than William! At the end of the feeding, the employee offered the kids worms to hand feed the fish. Grant and Jacob LOVED it, Jacob's finger must of looked a bit too much like a worm and the fish bit it, but he just laughed it off.

After the fish feeding we went out to the food court for lunch. How I HATE paying $3 for a slice of pizza! Once the kids were fed, we headed back to Bass Pro for our archery class. Cade kept asking if he could shoot "bows"....I kept correcting him and telling him he was shooting arrows. Both Emily and Grant managed to hit the target and Jacob and Cade both hit the surrounding "hay". Jacob bugged me the whole way home about when he would get to go shoot again!
