Bass Pro Shops

Have you been to a Bass Pro Shop? Not being a real "outdoorswoman", I wasn't sure what to expect... On several occasions, Hubbie, kiddos, and I had passed by one of the stores, and one fine December day, we knew we would be close by, so we planned for a visit!

Boy, was I ever surprised! Totally~and I hate using this word, but~cool! I was really amazed, and I think my family was, too! There were two huge indoor aquariums, one freshwater and one saltwater. The freshwater aquarium had local types of fish in it. Beautiful! The saltwater aquarium was located inside a restaurant (which was inside the store). We enjoyed some surf and turf for lunch and then continued on our journey. We probably spent about three hours in that store~just looking at everything!

If you ever get a chance to visit, by all means, please do so! You'll be glad you did~unless, of course, you don't like to see stuffed bear, deer, raccoon, squirrel, etc......Here are a few pictures from our visit.


Beautiful fireplace and mantle


Freshwater aquarium and waterfall


Beautiful! I think most of God's creatures are amazing!


My parents have had a few of these visit their back porch~in fact, one black bear even tore their screen on the back door~too close for comfort for me!



I thought this sign was too funny!


I hope you enjoyed your visit today. Have a great Wednesday!

Haven't been to one of the Bass Pro shops but it sounds like Cabelas which also has home decor, shoes, clothes, aquariums, etc. If you ever see one of them you need to stop there too!!!

I like that picture..."send picture of the boat!" That would be cute at the upcoming Wildgame Supper (probably some men there who would totally relate...much too much! :) ) I wonder if I can get John to stop at a Bass Pro shop?? He probably wouldn't believe me - that it's "COOL"! :)

My family loves going to the Bass Pro Shop in Branson. Me...not so much. I do like the huge tank, but I am not outdoorsy=). I do like looking at the clothes, though. Ha!
Enjoyed your pictures=)!
