Fun At Scheels

The kids playing at Scheels.

The kids went off track the end of February and we were trying to find some things to do to fill their time. On March 1st we needed to take a trip down to Scheels for part of Sarah and Hannah's birthday presents. Scheels is a huge sporting goods store that opened south of us back in September. I has not only sporting goods, but a Ferris Wheel, bowling, a place to practice golf and kicking a football. It also has multiple places to take pictures as well as a play land and a huge fish tank, that's just to name some of the things in it. Scheels has always been cool for the kids because when we first moved down here, Kenny was working on the building laying the steel beams.  The kids have been waiting for months to go inside. We'd been in a few times, but it was always packed with people so we never let the kids do anything fun. This day was a Friday, when most kids are in school and the place was empty. We got tickets to go on the Ferris Wheel first and the kids were so excited to go on it. The oldest 4 went together and then Kenny and I took the little boys. They all had a blast and thought it was pretty neat to ride a Ferris Wheel inside a building.

This is the best picture I got of Gracie and Sarah. I guess I should have brought my good camera instead of just using the one on my phone.

Adam and Daddy on the farris wheel.

I got to ride with Dan on the Ferris Wheel. I loved it.

After the Ferris Wheel we headed upstairs to get the girls fishing poles. I stopped at all the picture spots with the kids and they enjoyed posing for pictures and just plain being silly. 

First came the skunks. Adam was terrified of the skunks so he went with dad. I stayed with the other 5 and took pictures of their funny adventures.

Next up was the 4-wheeler. They loved taking turns driving it.

This is my Ben. What a crazy kid.

Over by the fishing poles they had this fun picture spot that allowed you to hold up a sign with the name of a fish on it and then it actually projected that fish onto the screen. If you entered your email it would email the picture to you, so, of course, all the kids had to take turns having their picture taken with a fish. It was pretty fun.

Ben went first and did a great job carrying his large fish.

Dan with his shark.

Sarah did a good job helping Adam hold up his big fish.

The little girls decided to take their picture together.

Last but not least was the cougar.  We all had so much fun at Scheels.
