Two weeks ago the kids and I (Trent) went down to my Grandma’s 86th birthday. It is my Grandma on my Mom’s side. The kids really haven’t had a chance to see them much so we went even though Megan had to work. It was quite fun. On the way home we were debating whether to stop at Cabela’s or not. It was getting late, about 6pm and just as we approached the exit for Cabela’s the traffic was stopping. There was a car accident just past the exit and traffic had come to a stop. That made up our minds and we headed off to Cabela’s. We had Janell, my sister, and her son Steven with us and we all were excited to stop. We wanted to see the big fish tanks and what was cool is that we made it in time to see them feed the fish. You can’t really see the feeding in the pictures but almost every fish was in the center at that time. It was quite fun to watch and see. The kids loved the animals and fish.








My favorite is when we went to the Africa exhibit, we pulled up and Colton goes, “Look dad, a Kudu.” A Kudu is the largest animal in the antelope family. They have long twirled horns and they look pretty cool. People around us were looking at him like how does he know what that animal is. Then Makenzie points over to another animal and says, “Dad, look over there, there is an Impala.” An Impala is another animal in the antelope family but not as big as the Kudu. I am proud of my little munchkins and knowledge of animals. By the way, they know their Africa animals because they are on my Africa Safari hunting game that they like to play with me.







It was quite cool also to walk around conservation mountain where they have all types of mounted animals and Makenzie and Colton where just naming them off. A polar bear, skunk, fox, raccoon, deer, elk, moose, mountain goats. They needed some help on some but they got most of them right. We had a blast looking at everything and even Tait was staring at the animals. We will for sure be visiting again, until then, enjoy the pictures.

Your kids are Brilliant! We're so proud that they know their animals! Sounds like it was a fun trip :)
Trent, what an exciting adventure. Those kids of yours are smarty pants and pretty cute too.
Why am I not really surprised that both of them would know things like that. :)
It was awesome. I think Colton and Makenzie knew more of the animals than I did. It was very fun!:)
Very impressive little zoologists you have there! My family loves Cabelas--it is just about a minute away from my sister's house in Lehi. Try their licorice or pretzles sometime, they are excellent. (Of course, I would reccomend food at a sporting goods store).
Looks like fun - wish we could have been there with you! Why didn't you tell us you were coming down? Maybe we would have come up!
