We ventured over to Bass Pro Shops this morning to pick up a pair of ear-protecting headphones for Chris (more on that later) and to visit their winter wonderland set-up. Now you may know that Christopher is a big fan of penguins, but he also
loves the great moose! Bass Pro Shops is full of moose and Chris found them all today. First he got to ride one on this fun carousel...
Later we picked up a pair of moose feet slippers that have a recording of an actual moose call on them! This was in addition to the camouflage moose pajamas that we bought solely for Grandpa T to see when we go up to visit at Christmas...
At the winter wonderland, they also had a train set up and race car set up. In true Kansas fashion, the cars were Nascar and went around in an oval repeatedly.
The cool thing about these set-ups is that Chris was able to control them himself! Next he continued the theme by hopping on a stationary ATV, hopefully the only ATV he will ever get on.
After that there was a bear he had to fend off...
And finally he tried on some camo hats for when he goes hunting with Grandpa T...
A note on the headphones... although our boy can be among the loudest of children, he doesn't like when big groups of children scream really loud altogether. In fact, in the past, it has down right freaked him out. A friend of mine suggested getting kid-sized headphones to block out some of the louder noises as she had gotten them for her daughter who also doesn't like loud sounds. We picked some up today because we are going to a birthday party that was at the same place last year with a lot of children and Chris melted down after all the kids were screaming with excitement. We are coming prepared this year just in case!
And one slightly more cultural thing... Chris tried chopsticks for the first time last night. He did a really great job!
