BASS PRO SHOP

August 5, we went Bass Pro Shop in Sevierville. It is one of the most amazing stores we have visited. The store is gigantic and contains hundreds of animals, such as bears, elk, deer, fish, foxes and raccoons. The girls had mixed emotions about the animals. Rielly loved them and couldn't keep her hands off (even though there were many signs "please do not touch").

Chaise was terrified the most time. Eventually, she warmed up to the animals, but she made sure that we knew that she wanted to leave the entire time. She continuously told us how "scared to death" she was. Kailee liked to look from a distance, but wasn't too keen on the idea of a face-to-face encounter with these strange beasts. Kailee and Rielly also got to get behind the handles of an ATV. Looks like Daddy may have his hands full with these two dare devils.

Tiffany and Cort had a great time, and we all got to test out our sharp-shooter skills and the laser rifle range. Tiffany hit the raccoon and made him spin around. She was very proud of her 25 points until she looked over at Cort's score of 225. The joy quickly departed. Inspite of her great distaste for the animals, Chaise really enjoyed pretending to shoot them. Anyway, to all our friends and family, if you have not visited this incredible store, you definitely should if you have the opportunity.
