Scheels

Justin had the day off today, so we decided to go check out that store Scheels in Sandy that we drive by all the time, but have never visited.  It seemed like the whole experience would be more fun if there were kids along older than ours.  Not a problem, I called Sarah and arranged to borrow two of hers.  I love that Thor is selecting his own outfits these days.

To be honest we weren't that taken with Scheels.  It was kind of interesting, but I'm pretty sure we'll never be back.  The kids loved it.  They loved the ferris wheel, the fish tank (which I found to be rather underwhelming), the kid's play area (that looked like a large cage full of unruly children), and the cafe where we treated them to ice cream after spending the afternoon exploring the entire store.  

Here's a picture of them with Justin on the ferris wheel.  

And this is the photo that you can take that superimposes a game animal into the picture with you.  The kids didn't really seem to be getting the vision of how this works, but I suppose that makes the picture all the more amusing.

As predicted the best part about the Scheels experience was the kids.  The highlight of our day was actually at the very end when we were sitting in the cafe, and I had just finished nursing the baby.  She promptly barfed up seemingly everything she had just eaten and was acting desperately hungry again.  The conversation went something like this:

Thor: Great, now Julie is going to have to unlatch and feed her again.

(Although what we heard was "great, now Julie is going to have to unlatch her feeder again.")

Justin:  What?  Her feeder?

Winnie: [giggling] That's not what it's called.  It's called 'boobies.'  Erica told me.

Who knew that Erica was the authority on such matters? 

(For those of you who don't know them, Erica and Winnie are cousins, and only a few months apart in age.)
