Santa 2015

We went to Bass Pro again this year to make our annual visit to Santa Claus. I just love how Bass Pro decorates for this adventure. They have a huge area that is a Winter Wonderland with lots of things for kids to do & see. They have booths set up with all their toys that the kiddos can play with & test out while waiting in line which is pretty clever on their part! They really have the process of seeing Santa down to a science.

We got there 30 minutes after it opened & when we grabbed our ticket for the Santa line there was already a 1.5 hour wait. So since it was lunch time, we decided to go across the street to Jason's Deli to eat & kill some time. 

We ate & got back over to Bass Pro & proceeded to get in the Santa line. In the meantime, we got some pic's of Mase keeping busy while we waited in line:

He LOVED the mini ATV

Obsessed with the reindeer

He thought the elves stuck in the snow was hilarious

Our handsome little boy

We only stood in line for about 20 minutes & then it was our turn to sit on Santa's lap....or sit in front of his lap. Mase did NOT want to sit on Santa's lap AT ALL! He took one look at him up close & was over it. We at least managed to bribe him to sit on the step stool in front of Santa for a picture & even that was tough.

Cheeeese

On our way out we stopped to see the huge fish tank of freshwater fish:

As well as the ducks & this huge grizzly bear:

We just love the yearly holiday traditions that we are starting with Mase - especially this one! Hoping next year he isn't so scared of the big guy in red & will actually tell him what he wants for Christmas?!
